The share of deliveries of watermelons from Azerbaijan to the Sverdlovsk region has increased 10 times,” Terekhova specified. Exotic fruits from Thailand, Ethiopia, Israel and Vietnam have replaced the goods of the nearest partner countries. Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Armenia export their fruits and vegetables to the region. Uzbekistan supplies quince, apricots, grapes, watermelons and much more. Earlier, the Minister of Economic Development of the Russian Federation Maxim Reshetnikov said that Russia pays a special place to Uzbekistan in reorienting exports and imports, finding new suppliers, building new logistics and production chains.
