The American Soybean Association’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health program and the Ministry of Investments, Industry and Trade of the Republic of Uzbekistan have signed a Memorandum of Understanding. This will expand collaboration on developing U.S. soy value chains to advance trade between the U.S. and Uzbekistan.
The agreement provides the groundwork for a commitment to improving food security, strengthening private-sector capacity, and building connections between Uzbek buyers and U.S. soy suppliers. The MoU establishes a framework for cooperation in areas such as animal feed, poultry, dairy, and aquaculture productivity, soy processing technology, quality standards, and nutrition innovation.
“This agreement is an important milestone for U.S. soy in Uzbekistan,” says Stephen Censky, CEO of the American Soybean Association. “The MoU between WISHH and our new trade partners will continue to open new doors for U.S. soy in the Trans-Caspian region and create even more opportunities that benefit farmers and consumers.”
WISHH’s collaboration with Uzbekistan is supported by funding from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Foreign Agricultural Service through its Market Access, Foreign Market Development, and Regional Agricultural Promotion programs. It also complements WISHH’s ongoing partnerships with the U.S. Soybean Export Council and the United Soybean Board.
