This is 43% more than in 2022. In addition, 56% of the total volume of exports of tomatoes is sent to the Russian Federation, about 28% to Kazakhstan and over 11% to Kyrgyzstan.
Vegetable and fruit and vegetable products were also exported. Since the beginning of last year, over 13 thousand tons of lentils, 6 thousand tons of onions, about 4 thousand tons of fruits and grapes have been produced. In addition, during this period, a wide range of confectionery products, packaged vegetables and fruits, also soft drinks were exported to neighboring countries.
The priority of the customs remains the automation of customs procedures and increasing the efficiency of customs operations. With the introduction of the "Single Window for Export and Import Operations" mechanism, the entire export process is automated and all necessary information can be obtained through the service portal in electronic form. This speeds up the process of customs procedures and reduces time costs.
