Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — The 11th international forum “Gardens of Uzbekistan and CIS” will be held in Tashkent on 25 February 2027. The event is being organised by Vostock Capital, according to the organisers.
The forum will bring together executives of agricultural holdings and farming enterprises, owners of orchards and vineyards, berry producers, investors, processors, exporters, and suppliers of technology and equipment.
One of the main topics will be the implementation of the 2026–2028 programme for the development of industrial horticulture, which envisages the establishment and modernisation of 172,127 hectares of intensive orchards. Of this area, 95,234 hectares are allocated for the renewal of existing plantations, while another 76,893 hectares are designated for new orchards.
Participants will discuss investment in horticultural projects, access to quality planting material, the introduction of water-saving irrigation systems and modern agricultural technologies. The agenda will also cover cold storage, sorting, processing and the development of export infrastructure.
Particular attention is expected to be paid to expanding storage capacity for fruit and vegetable products. According to figures provided by the organisers, 340 cold-storage facilities with a combined capacity of 87,000 tonnes are scheduled to be commissioned in 2026.
The forum will also provide a platform to discuss requirements for investment projects and find partners among agricultural producers, investors and technology suppliers. The organisers are targeting companies interested in implementing projects in Uzbekistan and other CIS countries.
According to Vostock Capital, the development of modern horticulture requires an integrated approach covering the entire production cycle, from planting material and irrigation to harvesting, storage, processing and access to sales markets.
