Weather

Pack layers for cool mornings and a jacket for evening transfers, and check the daily forecast in the week before travel. These are climatological bands, not a forecast.

Cultural notes
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Language in the halls
Uzbek is the state language and Russian remains the working language of most business conversations in Tashkent; English is common on international exhibitor stands. Russian-language product sheets and price lists make meetings noticeably faster, and a stand interpreter is worth budgeting for a first edition.
Money and payments
The currency is the Uzbekistani som (UZS). Cards work at hotels, larger restaurants and many stands, but taxis, bazaars and small purchases are still largely cash. Exchange at a bank office or hotel desk, keep small notes for transport, and tell your bank you are travelling.
Greetings and dress
A handshake with direct eye contact is the normal business greeting, and business cards are exchanged readily. Smart casual or a suit for meetings is appropriate at the venue; outside the halls, modest dress is appreciated, particularly around mosques and older neighbourhoods.
Tea and meeting rhythm
Tea (choy) anchors most meetings - accept a cup and expect a few minutes of conversation before commercial talk. Rushing straight to price is less effective than establishing who you are and which region or crop you serve.
Friday and working hours
Friday is the main prayer day, and some offices shorten hours around Friday lunchtime. Avoid scheduling your only meeting with a state body or distributor on Friday afternoon, and confirm appointment times by message the day before.
Getting around Tashkent
Central Tashkent around Amir Temur avenue is walkable in parts, with an ornate Soviet-era metro network and widely used ride-hailing. Traffic can be heavy at peak hours, so leave a margin between hotel meetings and hall appointments rather than cutting transfers close.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Soil salinity
- The accumulation of soluble salts in the root zone, common on irrigated land in Uzbekistan; high salinity reduces water uptake and yields and is usually managed by leaching, drainage and gypsum or amended irrigation.
- Sodicity
- A condition where sodium dominates the soil's exchange complex, degrading structure and infiltration; measured via the sodium adsorption ratio and treated with calcium-based amendments such as gypsum.
- Electrical conductivity (EC)
- A field or laboratory reading that estimates the total soluble salt content of a soil or water sample; the standard quick test used to decide whether a field needs leaching.
- Soil organic matter (humus)
- The decomposed organic fraction that holds nutrients and water and supports soil structure; low levels are typical of long-cultivated cotton land and are rebuilt with compost, manure and cover crops.
- NPK
- The three primary macronutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium - expressed as a ratio on fertiliser bags and matched to soil-test results before application.
- Leaching
- Applying excess irrigation water to push salts below the root zone, effective only where subsurface drainage exists; a core practice on Uzbek irrigated fields.
- Amelioration
- The set of physical and chemical treatments - gypsum, deep tillage, organic matter, drainage - used to restore degraded or salinised soils.
- Fertigation
- Delivering soluble fertiliser through a drip or sprinkler system, allowing small, frequent nutrient doses matched to crop demand and reducing leaching losses.
- Biostimulant
- A product based on humic substances, amino acids, seaweed or microbial extracts that improves nutrient uptake, root growth or stress tolerance rather than supplying nutrients directly.
- Soil sampling grid
- A planned pattern of sample points across a field so laboratory results represent the whole area; the basis for variable-rate fertiliser maps.
- Variable-rate application (VRA)
- Applying seed, fertiliser or amendments at different rates across a field according to soil maps or sensor readings, instead of a single uniform pass.
- Water-use efficiency
- Crop yield or revenue produced per cubic metre of irrigation water; the key metric behind drip conversion decisions in water-scarce Central Asia.
