marking a 37.6 percent increase. Meanwhile, food and live animals
generated a further $1 billion, marking a 9.1 percent increase.







Exports of mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials
increased 10.1 percent to $660.7 million, while machinery and
transport equipment climbed 38.2 percent to $536 million.


Meanwhile, exports of crude materials, inedible except fuels

The category of other goods totaled $1.5 billion, representing a
76.4 percent decline compared with the same period last year.


According to Trend's analysis, Uzbekistan's export structure
continues to shift toward higher-value goods and services. Services
accounted for approximately 36.5 percent of total exports,
remaining the country's largest export segment, while exports of
miscellaneous manufactured goods almost doubled and machinery and
transport equipmentexpanded by 38.2 percent, pointing to continued
diversification beyond traditional commodity exports. At the same
time, the sharp 76.4 percent decline in the "other goods" category
suggests a changing composition of exports, making manufactured
products, chemicals and services increasingly important drivers of
the country's external trade performance.
