Adminstration of the Fergana Region

In Fergana District, “Vodil Raspberry Market” LLC is expanding its operations as an export-oriented berry plantation.

The cold storage facility built by the company, based on freezing technology, was particularly praised by the JICA delegation. This infrastructure makes it possible to preserve the harvested crop for a long period without loss of quality, prepare it for export, and deliver it in compliance with international standards.

During the visit, the delegation closely observed the modern agrotechnical methods introduced in the plantation, the level of productivity, the drip irrigation system, as well as the facilities for sorting and initial packaging of the berries.

JICA representatives highly appreciated the prospects for expanding the raspberry cultivation cluster and the opportunities to supply high-quality, competitive products to the Japanese market, and discussed future cooperation plans.
