Researchers at Tashkent State Agrarian University have developed a new grapefruit variety named O'zbegim, which has been officially entered into the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Ministry of Justice of Uzbekistan.
Before the development of this variety, grapefruit in Uzbekistan was considered an exotic fruit and was mainly imported. The new variety is the result of long-term breeding work by local scientists and is fully adapted to the country's climatic conditions.
The registration was carried out in accordance with the Law on Breeding Achievements and grants the breeder exclusive rights to use the variety. To obtain legal protection, the grapefruit met the required criteria of novelty, distinctiveness, uniformity, and stability, confirming its uniqueness at the national level.
