TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, May 13. Uzbekistan plans
to launch a unified automated food safety information platform by
March 1, 2027, Trend
reports via the press office of the Uzbek president.
The announcement was made by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev during
a meeting focused on enhancing public administration in food safety
and supporting the development of the livestock sector.
The system will be integrated with the country’s “single window”
border control mechanism in order to simplify export procedures and
reduce bureaucratic barriers for businesses.
According to the announced measures, import control procedures
will be shortened from nine days to two days, while export
clearance times will be reduced from three days to one day.
Authorities estimate that the reforms will allow entrepreneurs
to save around 70 billion soums ($5.8 million) in warehousing
costs.
The government also plans to introduce a ranking system for
active and compliant farmers, with additional incentives and
benefits to be provided to top-performing agricultural
producers.
