Uzbekistan processes 70-80 thsd tonnes of soybean annually. However, the country needs 1.5 mln tonnes of the oilseed to load its processing capacities, declared the vice-chairman of the Uzyogmoysanoat Association, Ahror Abdurahimov within the online forum Ukraine-Uzbekistan: fat&oil industry development hold by APK-Inform and the Embassy of Ukraine in Uzbekistan on September 17.

He said that the soybean processing stagnates in Uzbekistan, as there are problems with soybean purchasing due to high logistical costs.

“If we get attractive offers for soybean supply to our plants, we will consider and discuss them. We import 30 thsd tonnes of soybean at most annually. However, we need 1.5 mln tonnes to load our capacities”, - he said.

A.Abdurahimov added that Uzbekistan is building several lines for soybean protein production. Each plant needs additional 20-30 thsd tonnes of soybean per year to load their capacities.
