ВЗАИМОДОПОЛНЯЕМОСТЬ АГРОПРОМЫШЛЕННЫХ КОМПЛЕКСОВ РОССИИ И УЗБЕКИСТАНА: ОТ ТОРГОВЛИ К ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕННО-ЛОГИСТИЧЕСКОЙ КООПЕРАЦИИ

The paper analyses how differences in the resource bases of the Russian and Uzbek agro-industrial complexes can be shifted from merchandise trade to production and logistics cooperation. Open official and industry sources put bilateral agri-food trade at about USD 2.3 billion in 2025, with Russian grain, oilseeds and livestock products against Uzbek horticulture. The binding constraints are not demand but post-harvest losses of 20–30 percent, temperature-controlled storage covering about 5 percent of annual output, the dependence of the Uzbek grain and flour market on supplies transiting Kazakhstan, and the absence of guaranteed-supply instruments. The proposed toolkit includes agrologistics hubs, coordinated reserves, guaranteed-supply contracts and an early-warning system.
