Orascom Shows Interest in Developing Value Chains in Uzbekistan’s Sugar Industry

Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) — A delegation from one of the largest investment companies of the Arab Republic of Egypt, Orascom Investment (Nile Sugar), is on a working visit to Uzbekistan.

As part of the visit, company representatives toured leading soft drink manufacturing enterprises in the country, familiarizing themselves with production capacities, raw material requirements, and technological processes.

During the talks, the sides held detailed discussions on expanding sugar production in Uzbekistan, supplying the domestic market with high-quality products, and increasing the share of locally sourced raw materials throughout the finished product value chain.

The Egyptian side expressed interest in the direct purchase of Uzbek sugar for use in the production of soft drinks.

It is expected that this model of cooperation will ensure uninterrupted supplies of affordable and high-quality sugar to large enterprises, create a stable market for the domestic sugar industry, reduce import volumes, and expand value-added chains.

This approach fully aligns with Uzbekistan’s current policy aimed at developing the food industry, attracting foreign investment, and deepening industrial integration.
