Tashkent agrifood forum puts landlocked-market access and food-system innovation on the agenda
Uzbekistan’s government and FAO recorded the Global Technical Forum of Landlocked Developing Countries on Food Security and the Sustainable Development Goals in Tashkent on 7 to 8 October 2026. The forum gives agrifood, climate, logistics, water, packaging and finance teams a current policy reference for developing product-to-market research in Uzbekistan and neighbouring landlocked markets.
Verified facts
- The Uzbekistan government calendar described a 7–8 October 2026 Tashkent forum on food security for landlocked developing countries, in cooperation with FAO, covering agricultural resilience, land and water, innovation, market access and sustainable finance.
- FAO’s Uzbekistan page identified the Global Technical Forum as taking place at Hyatt Regency Tashkent and described the Ministry of Agriculture and FAO as joint organisers. The event description provides institutional and thematic context; it does not establish the availability, authority or commercial suitability of any attendee or participant.
- FAO framed the forum around structural constraints for landlocked developing countries, including high transport costs, dependence on transit states, market integration and climate exposure. These are research problems, not proof that a defined product can be exported, financed, cleared, distributed or paid for.
- CAREC reported its Uzbekistan country director’s participation and confirmed themes including sustainable agriculture, land and water, innovation, market access and sustainable finance. A participant report does not verify access to speakers, participants, project sponsors, procurement or commercial counterparts.
Horizon view
Treat the forum as a dated policy and evidence reference. It can sharpen country and product research around land-linked agrifood systems, resilience, market integration and finance. The unit of action remains a documented product-to-buyer workflow, which lets firms turn broad themes into practical sourcing, distribution and delivery hypotheses.
Commercial implication and next step
For a specific agrifood, input, logistics, cold-chain, water, packaging or finance proposition, create a controlled delivery file: exact product and end use; producer/exporter, importer/distributor and purchaser with written authority; applicable food-safety, veterinary/phytosanitary, label, origin and batch evidence; destination-market and transit-route requirements; storage, temperature, shelf-life, inspection, carrier and insurance allocation; price and landed-cost logic; finance, currency, payment security and claims route; and a limited documentary or small-batch proof. Do not treat a forum, its themes, programme, stated attendance or policy language as a referral, approval, procurement pipeline or source of commercial access.
What to verify before acting
The sources do not establish an attendee relationship, buyer demand, product compliance, food-safety certificate, importer/distributor appointment, route capacity, export or import clearance, finance, grant, tender, price, payment, contract or transaction. This is not Uzbekistan food, agriculture, veterinary, phytosanitary, customs, logistics, finance, tax, insurance or legal advice.
