AgroExpo Uzbekistan/ Agrotech Expo 2026

The Exhibition

AgroExpo Uzbekistan / Agrotech Expo 2026 will take place from 25 to 27 November at the Uzexpocentre in Tashkent. The exhibition has established itself as a key professional platform for Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector, bringing together farmers, agribusiness representatives, technology suppliers, and public authorities. It serves as a unique meeting point for stakeholders from across Central Asia and international manufacturers of investment-grade machinery, equipment, and technologies for crop production, horticulture, and animal husbandry.

The exhibition is complemented by a strong professional program. More than 8 specialized conferences and business events with international speakers and industry experts addressed key topics such as innovation, productivity growth, and export development. The event attracted representatives of ministries, government agencies, and sectoral associations from all regions of Uzbekistan, as well as VIP delegations, key buyers, and leading agricultural and foodprocessing companies, highlighting its strategic importance for the sector.

The exhibition was officially visited by the Minister of Agriculture of Uzbekistan, Ibrokhim Abdurakhmonov, and the Minister of Agriculture of Poland, Stefan Krajewski, underlining its signifi cance for international cooperation in the agricultural sector.

In 2025, the exhibition was held across two halls and an expanded outdoor area, welcoming nearly 6,800 professional visitors. The gross exhibition area reached 15,800 m², hosting over 180 exhibitors from 20 countries, with official national pavilions from Germany, Poland, Austria, and Iran. A particularly notable feature is the strong international character of the exhibition: around 70% of exhibitors were international companies, while farmers and agribusinesses from all regions of Uzbekistan actively participated. As a result, AgroExpo Uzbekistan / Agrotech Expo is widely recognized as the only truly international agricultural exhibition in Uzbekistan, providing an eff ective platform for knowledge exchange, innovation transfer, and international business development.

The Market

With a population of around 33 million, Uzbekistan is not only the most populous country in Central Asia but also the one with the highest population growth in the region. The primary agricultural sector still contributes 27.3% to the Gross Domestic Product. The government has ambitious plans to significantly improve production efficiency and increase agricultural exports and food products up to a remarkable 10 billion USD this year. That goal cannot be achieved  without massive investments in modern machinery, equipment, and technologies. The required investment goods will be for the time being mainly imported from Europe, China, India, and Turkey.

Due to the climatic conditions, as much as 85% of Uzbekistan’s agricultural land is irrigated. The most important crops are cotton and wheat, and significant other products include fruits (apples, apricots, peaches and berries), vegetables (cucumbers, tomatoes and potatoes), milk, silk and livestock. The production of raw cotton, a traditionally principal agricultural product, has been substantially reduced, which freed up around 170,500 hectares of land. This land will primarily be used to sow potato and other vegetables, forage crops for feed production as well as horticulture crops.

Currently Uzbekistan produces around 16 million tons of fruits and vegetables, the volume of which is expected to increase to 5 million tons by 2030. Nevertheless, only 15% of fruits and vegetables is processed in Uzbekistan, which entails a high degree of wastage and price fluctuations during on- and off- seasons. Furthermore, the capacity of refrigerated warehouses, which is estimated to be around 800,000 tons, needs to be increased because it is enough to only store 5% of the national harvest. The demand for modern machinery, processing equipment and cooling technologies is, therefore, growing as the government aims to increase the efficiency of agricultural products.

Animal husbandry encompasses 40% of the total output of agriculture. During the last five years, livestock has increased by 21% including cattle by 7%, sheep and goats be 20% and poultry 1.5 times. Today, almost 95% of livestock (or 10 million) is brought up in private smallholding and commercial farms. They produce more than 90% of the country’s meat, 95.7% of milk and 54.8% of eggs. The number of breeding farms has exceeded 400, and they currently raise 99,200 heads of livestock.
