Uzbekistan lifts restrictions on poultry meat exports

Plans to allow the export of poultry meat were announced recently at a meeting with the head of state.

Since the end of 2017, livestock, poultry and meat have been included in the list of products exported based on presidential decisions.

According to the resolution, until January 1, 2030, business entities producing poultry products are exempt from land tax from legal entities (with the exception of sown areas). 

From October 1, the customs duty exemption established for the import into Uzbekistan of fresh, chilled or frozen meat and poultry by-products (carcass meat, wings, back, neck, leg, drumstick, thigh, minced meat and skin) will be abolished.

The resolution also provides for the implementation of the “Agroparranda klasteri” project, based on a cooperative system.
