Pakistan expands Kinnow Exports access to Uzbekistan

Kinnow Exports: Uzbekistan Approves 184 Pakistani Exporters and 39 Packhouses

The approval marks a significant expansion in market access for Pakistan’s kinnow exporters ahead of the upcoming export season.

ISLAMABAD, November 9, 2026: Pakistan’s kinnow exports are set to gain wider access to the Uzbek market after Uzbekistan’s Food Safety Committee approved 184 Pakistani kinnow exporters and 39 packhouses, compared with just eight approved exporters during the previous season.

The approval allows Pakistani kinnow exporters registered with Pakistan’s Department of Plant Protection (DPP) to access the Uzbek market, subject to compliance with the relevant regulatory and phytosanitary requirements. The development is expected to support higher kinnow exports and strengthen Pakistan’s presence in Central Asia.

The achievement follows the Prime Minister’s directions to expand the country’s agricultural trade potential and reflects coordinated diplomatic and technical efforts by the Ministry of Commerce (MoC), Trade Development Authority of Pakistan (TDAP), Ministry of National Food Security and Research (MNFSR), DPP, Pakistan’s Trade and Investment Counsellor in Uzbekistan, and the Embassy of Pakistan in Uzbekistan.

The Government of Pakistan acknowledged the cooperation extended by the Government of Uzbekistan and reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening bilateral trade through expanded agricultural market access.
