As such, it is one of the most important markets for Turkey. Turkish HVAC&R sector currently accounts for 8% of Uzbekistan’s HVAC&R exports. Member companies attending in the virtual trade delegation visit were able to establish mutual ties that will be translated into exports in the future. We intend to increase our market share in Uzbekistan to 10% in 2021. We believe that the mutual relations between countries and sectors will improve even more after the pandemic, and we will increase our commercial targets. We will continue to organize such meeting that will provide the ground for exports in the future. In the meantime, we will continue to support our member companies.”
