China only imported three tonnes of cherries from Uzbekistan in 2022. This is only 0.01% of the total volume of cherry exports from Uzbekistan in 2022, which decreased significantly due to a sharp decline in the harvest. This is also 4.5 times less than 2021 exports. But it is not down to the low harvest volumes as volumes were much bigger only about 0.02% of the export volume and only 0.007% of the total crop were sent to China.
Volumes of cherries exported to China have been declining for a few years. According to Andriy Yarmak, an economist at the Investment Centre of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), this is because of low quality fruit and low-tech sorting practices which make them unsuitable for transport over long distances.
