BAKU, Azerbaijan, December 13. By the end of
2024, the volume of cargo transportation between Uzbekistan and
Azerbaijan exceeded 100,000 tons, which is 5% more than in 2023, a
source at the Ministry of Transport of Uzbekistan told Trend.
According to the source, this dynamic reflects the growth of
mutual trade and the expansion of industrial cooperation between
the two countries.
"At the same time, the transit traffic of Uzbek cargo through
the territory of Azerbaijan is already measured in millions of
tons. In 2024, more than 1 million tons of cargo from Uzbekistan
were transported through the Port of Baku within the framework of
the Middle Corridor, which is 26% more than a year earlier," the
ministry noted.
Speaking about the structure of mutual supplies, the ministry
emphasized that the basis of trade is formed by several major
commodity groups. Uzbekistan primarily exports agricultural
products, processed food products, paper- and cardboard-based
packaging materials, vehicles and components, as well as mineral
fertilizers to Azerbaijan.
"In turn, imports from Azerbaijan are mainly represented by
metals and metal products, food products (including sugar and
products of its processing, grain and flour-milling products,
fruits), as well as polymer raw materials and plastic materials,
which are widely used in various sectors of Uzbekistan’s industry,"
the ministry added.
