Uzbekistan's foreign trade activity in early 2026 is demonstrating impressive results. According to official data from the National Statistical Committee, total exports from the republic reached $12.6 billion in the first five months of the current year. These figures confirm the country's sustained economic growth and its expanding presence in international markets.
Russia — Leader in Trade Relations
An analysis of the export structure reveals the undisputed leadership of the Russian market. During the reporting period, the volume of Uzbek goods supplied to the Russian Federation amounted to $1.9 billion. This figure makes Russia the largest export partner for Uzbekistan, holding the top spot in the ranking of importing countries.
This situation testifies to the deep integration of economic ties between the two states and the high demand for Uzbek goods in Russia.
China and Regional Neighbors
China took second place in the list of major buyers. The export volume to China over five months amounted to $1.2 billion. The significant gap between the first and second places underscores Russia's dominant role in the country's export basket.
Afghanistan took third place in the ranking with a figure of $817.8 million. Rounding out the top five are France ($626.2 million) and Kazakhstan ($573.7 million). France's presence in the top 5 confirms the successful diversification of trade ties and access to developed European markets.
Expanding the Geography of Deliveries
In addition to the leaders, Uzbekistan is actively developing trade with a number of other key players. The list of largest external markets also includes:
- Turkey
- Hong Kong
- United Arab Emirates
- Kyrgyz Republic
- Tajikistan
These data point to an important trend: alongside traditional regional partners, the share of major global markets is steadily growing in the republic's exports. The strategy of diversifying trade routes is bearing fruit, allowing the economy to respond effectively to changes in demand.
