Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Representatives of the Embassy of Uzbekistan in Latvia held talks with Aboms Dzintars and Janson Arvis, heads of SIA Lietas MD, which owns the Auglu Serviss trademark, Dunyo news agency reports.

The company operates in the wholesale sector of fresh fruits and vegetables and is one of the leaders in sales of fruits and vegetables in Latvia. The company's customers are such well-known retail chains as Stockmann, Elvi, SKY and others. It has refrigerators for storing fruits and vegetables, as well as vans for timely delivery of products to customers. The company also sells products through its own online store.

The Latvian side said that it already had experience in importing products from Uzbekistan. According to businessmen, the soil and climatic conditions of our country contribute to the cultivation of vegetables and melons, which significantly exceed similar products from other regions in their taste and content of healthy vitamins.

It was noted that for a short period, Uzbekistan was able to increase the production and export potential of the fruit and vegetable industry. At the same time, the further implementation of international quality standards in the republic, attention to certification, labeling and packaging issues remain important priorities. The above will help strengthen the position of Uzbek goods in the European market of fruits and vegetables.

Representatives of the Latvian company confirmed their interest in establishing mutually beneficial relations with Uzbek partners.

An agreement was reached to continue negotiations with a view to achieving practical results.
