BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 18. More than 10,000
agreements worth 714 billion soms ($59.5 million) have been signed
between transport sector organizations and local manufacturers in
Uzbekistan.


This is reflected in a statement published by the Uzbek Ministry
of Transport, following the "National Industrial Chain" exhibition
dedicated to the transport sector, which was held on July 15-16 at
the Sof Expo exhibition center in the Jambay district of Samarkand
region.


The event was organized by the Agency for Industrial Cooperation
and Public Procurement jointly with the Ministry of Transport, the
Samarkand regional administration, major state customers in the
transport sector, and industry enterprises.


The exhibition brought together five major transport industry
enterprises, more than 80 local manufacturers, and showcased over
2,000 types of products, including components, technological
solutions, and industrial developments for railway transport, civil
aviation, road infrastructure, urban transport, and logistics.


"One of the highlights of the exhibition was that major
transport industry customers provided detailed information on their
current and future procurement needs, procurement plans for 2026
and beyond, product specifications, quality criteria, and annual
demand volumes," the statement of the ministry says.







According to the ministry, the discussions allowed local
companies to better assess market requirements and adjust their
production plans to meet the needs of large customers. The
exhibition also highlighted products that are currently imported
but have potential for localization, as well as areas where new
domestic production facilities could be developed.


The signed agreements are expected to contribute to expanding
the participation of Uzbek manufacturers in transport-related
supply chains, increasing the share of locally produced goods, and
supporting the implementation of new industrial projects.


The "National Industrial Chain" exhibition also served as a
platform for cooperation between government procurement
organizations, manufacturers, investors, research institutions, and
financial organizations involved in the development of the
transport sector.
