Earlier Report Observations

The olive market in Central Asia expanded sharply in 2019, with volume reaching 136 thousand tons, up from 117 thousand tons the year before. This jump was primarily due to a spike in imports, which was facilitated by a bumper harvest in major global producing countries like Spain, increasing international supplies and making olives more accessible in the region.

Market volume contracted to 122 thousand tons in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted international trade and logistics, reducing import flows. A gradual recovery followed from 2021 to 2023, with the market growing to 124 thousand tons. This steady growth was supported by rising consumer demand for olives and olive oil in Russia and neighboring markets, which encouraged local production development and attracted new agricultural investments across Central Asia.

Throughout the period, the sector's development was characterized by ongoing research into cultivation techniques and exploration of new opportunities, such as growing olives on saline soils in Uzbekistan. The continued reliance on imported olives in large regional markets like Russia highlighted the potential for Central Asian producers to capture a share of the growing demand.
