Representatives of the Embassy of Uzbekistan visited the blueberry plantations of the company for the production and sale of berries Ideal Fruits in the Spanish regions of Segovia and Asturias and organized virtual talks with the leadership of the company with Uzbekistan entrepreneurs working in this sphere.

The Nurli Oqshom Tongi company is the only Uzbek blueberry producer, growing it on plantations in Yuqorichirchiq district of Tashkent region. The project was launched in 2018 together with investors from Albania. Blueberries from the plantation were sold on the domestic market, but the project was suspended due to the withdrawal of a foreign partner.

The Spanish side expressed its readiness to participate in the implementation of a joint project by selecting a suitable blueberry variety and introducing the accumulated experience in growing this crop, followed by a guaranteed purchase of the entire crop.

Following the talks, the parties agreed to work out the sending of a trial batch of blueberries to Uzbekistan to study the needs of the local market for this product, as well as prepare information on the climatic calendar in the regions proposed for the implementation of the project.
