ASSESSMENT OF THE COMPETITIVENESS OF FOOD EXPORTS IN UZBEKISTAN
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study analyzes the competitiveness of Uzbekistan’s food exports and proposes strategic recommendations for its development. The comparative advantage of products in the international market is assessed using the Balassa index, while key export factors are examined through Porter’s model. The findings indicate a strong export potential for fruits and vegetables, as well as stable growth in grain and flour product exports. To expand export volumes and strengthen global market positions, it is crucial to develop logistics infrastructure, improve international certification systems, and enhance deep processing of agricultural products. The results provide valuable insights for agricultural exporters, entrepreneurs, and policymakers in shaping effective sectoral strategies.
