Uzbekistan eyes increased tea imports from India to rekindle historic trade ties

NEW DELHI: Uzbeks like to have tea before a meal, with a meal, and after a meal, which shows how integrated tea is with their palate and culture. India’s exports are rather small at present, but considering the fact that India is the second-largest producer of tea and a significant exporter, it is now exploring ways to increase exports to Uzbekistan. A trade delegation recently visited Kolkata and held meetings with members of tea organizations, generating renewed optimism about increasing imports from India. In 2022, India’s exports to Uzbekistan reached $512 million. Over the past five years, India’s exports to Uzbekistan have increased at an annualized rate of 18.9% from $215 million in 2017 to $512 million in 2022.
