Uzbekistan Sets Transport Targets and Designates New Logistics Zones

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree setting key transport targets for Uzbekistan. The plan aims to increase annual transport and logistics capacity to at least 40 million tons and expand international dry ports from 24 to 30 by 2030. The decree designates several regions, including Khanabad in the Andijan region and Alat district in the Bukhara region, as specialized transport and logistics areas. These centers will receive tax incentives and are expected to double border crossing capacity by 2030.

The decree is designed to strengthen Uzbekistan’s role in regional and international freight transportation. By setting targets to raise transit cargo volumes to 18.5 million tons and increase logistics service exports to $3.5 billion, the government is driving significant infrastructure investment. The designation of specialized zones and the provision of tax incentives are intended to boost the national logistics sector.
