A. Background – Export Overview

In 2002, Uzbekistan ranked 114th in the world as an exporting country. The country’s exports reached US$ 1.3 billion in value, but have been decreasing by 5% on average per year between 1998 and 2002 despite the growth of world exports by 4% on average per year during this period. Manufactured products and crude materials accounted for almost three-quarters of Uzbekistan’s total exports in 2002 (see figure 1). Food products (live animals, beverages, processed foods, vegetable oil, fats and wax) represented 9%. Figure 1. Breakdown of Uzbekistan’s exports to the world in 2002

Source: ITC PC-TAS 1998-2002 The main food products exported by Uzbekistan are edible fruits and nuts (HS08) (see table 1). Ranked 6th amongst all product categories exported by the country, they generated an income of US$ 44.6 million. Uzbekistan’s exports of vegetable, fruits and related preparations (HS07, HS20) reached US$ 53.1 million, while exports of animal origin (HS05) amounted to US$ 4.5 million.

B. Export opportunities for processed fruits and vegetables

1.Uzbekistan’s production of fruits and vegetables Uzbekistan produces various types of fruits and vegetables (see table 3). With an average annual production of 1,038,473 Mt and 891,536 Mt respectively, tomatoes and cabbages represent the highest production crops within this category. Nevertheless, Uzbekistan’s production of tomatoes decreased between 1992 and 2002, by 1.55% while that of cabbages increased by 0.16%. The average annual production of watermelons, fresh vegetables, grapes and apples reached a volume of 523.0 Mt and 375.5 Mt. Watermelon and vegetable products declined while the grapes and apples increased on average between 1992-2002. Table 3. Uzbekistan’s production of fruits and vegetables between 1992 and 2002

Increased demand for food ingredients in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, as well as natural food additives, provides for growing niche markets, in which Uzbek products seem to participate. Below are brief descriptions of export opportunities in these markets, given the range of fruit and vegetable products grown in Uzbekistan.

Cosmetics There are no exact figures about the volume of fruit and vegetable products used by the cosmetic industry. But demand for natural ingredients is growing, as consumers have become more sophisticated and interested in natural products. Mass producers as well as up-market brands shift their production increasingly to the use of natural ingredients. The EU is the world’s largest producer of cosmetic products, followed by the United States and Japan. Products included in that category are raw plant material (HS 12), vegetable saps and extracts (HS 13), vegetable (and animal) derived oils, fats and waxes (HS 15), essential oil and oleoresins (HS 3301), colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin (HS 3203). Some examples of ingredients based on fruit and vegetables grown in Uzbekistan are:

• Almond oil/ almond butter are products widely used in natural cosmetics, soap- making and perfumes. They are derived from almond kernels and serve as an odourless base.

• Apricot Kernel Oil can be used on its own or in massage products as well as for lip balms and cream.

• Oil derived from carrots or carrot seeds both serve for regeneration and nutrition of the skin.

• Grape seed Oil is a very light and odourless oil, used widely in massage products, either alone or mixed with almond oil.

• Hazelnut oil is widely used for massage products, as well as for hair care and cream/lotion formulas.

• Honey has been used since Egyptian times as ingredient for medicines and cosmetic purposes.

• Walnut shells, ground into a fine powder, used in skin creams, sun products or hair colors.

Pharmaceuticals As for cosmetics, it is not possible to give exact figures for the use of food industry products in pharmaceuticals, because statistics do not specify medical and other uses individually. The EU is one of the world’s largest producers of natural pharmaceuticals. Natural pharmaceutical products consist of plants and parts of plants (including seeds) (HS 1211), medicinal and vegetable saps and extracts (HS 1302 1991), and vegetable alkaloids (HS 2939). A range of natural products used by the pharmaceutical industry, which have no medicinal activity; are mainly the same as the ones used for cosmetics (see above). In addition to that essential oils are widely used for medicines purposes, e.g. Lemon Essential Oil.



Food additives Food additives are substances added to foods to perform a specific function. These functions include preserving the food and changing the appearance or taste of the food (by adding colour or flavour). Natural additives are substances found naturally in a foodstuff and are extracted from this food to be used in another. E.g. Beetroot juice with its bright purple colour can be used to colour foods such as sweets. Walnut shells are used as flavour or colour for liquor production.

Summary As mentioned above, all of these are worldwide growing niche markets. As part of the demand on these markets consists of “rest products”, which develop in processing fruit and vegetables (dried apricots consumer / apricot kernel cosmetic industry), such export opportunities should be taken into consideration.



METHODOLOGY

Data source and nomenclatures

The analysis is based on the Harmonised System (HS) nomenclature of products, and is carried out at a six-digit level (approximately 5,100 categories of products are covered). The aggregate nature of the trade flow analysis can overstate the export potential, since products within the same six-digit level group might not be perfect substitutes. Calculations made at the product level are based on statistics extracted from the COMTRADE database of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). COMTRADE has detailed trade statistics at the product level. The results of the trade flow analysis are based on the most recent available data. The growth rates listed in the tables are calculated on an annual basis over the 1998-2002 period.

Interpretation and limitations Although trade statistics provide a useful starting point for market research and assessing trade performance, they present some limitations: • Trade statistics do not fully capture all the transactions taking place between countries, owing

to compilation errors and omissions, smuggling and the non-reporting of transactions. Different reporting standards amongst countries can exacerbate the problems of non-comparability of data between countries;

• Trade statistics occasionally include re-exports, which can artificially inflate the extent of

trade; • Even at the lowest level of desegregation, differentiated products exist within product groups; • With respect to this particular study, only Kyrgyzstan reported its 2002 trade data to UNSD.

Therefore, ITC used mirror statistics to evaluate the other countries’ trade flows. This method is a second-best solution since trade with other non-reporting countries is not recorded. There is also the problem of trans-shipments, which may mask the actual source of supply. Finally, mirror statistics invert the reporting standards by evaluating exports in c.i.f. terms and imports in f.o.b. terms;

• Trade statistics refer to the total value of transactions, which may be very different from local

value added; • Exchange rates fluctuations can affect the value of dollar denominated trade statistics, which

may not result from changes in volumes;



• Services are not included in the trade statistics used in this study. In view of the aforementioned shortcomings, trade statistics should not be used as the only source for evaluating regional trade potential. It should be emphasized that statistical trade data do not always capture supply and demand characteristics in the commercial sense. The outcome of a trade flow analysis as described in this working document therefore needs to be validated at company levels.

Definitions Descriptive statistical measures were used on production. The arithmetic mean is calculated as the sum of all observations divided by the total number of observations. It provides us with an indicator of what, on average, would be the value of production in the past. Formally:

Where X is the arithmetic mean Xii

1 is the summation of all observations Xi and n is the sample

size. Growth rates have been calculated on the basis of average annual percentage changes. They are based on a model of continuous exponential growth between two points of time. Formally:

Where G is the exponential growth rate between the first period point Xt and last period point Xn, to the root of the number of intervals between these two points. Value and quantity have been analyzed in order to ascertain a country’s trade opportunities. Comparisons between countries’ export unit prices have also been used. Unfavorable terms of trade might result from lower product quality, lower negotiating power, unfavorable market timing for launching a product or the accumulation of stocks. Caution should also be applied to statistics on quantities since these are more difficult to collect and are likely to suffer from higher statistical errors.
