In 2024, the total volume of major types of cargo transported via Uzbekistan’s public railway network reached 73.9 million tons.
According to the data obtained from Uzbekistan’s Statistics Agency, the growth rate amounted to 100.3 percent compared to 2023.
Meanwhile, the number of cargo vehicles operated by Uzbek carriers has increased sevenfold to exceed 26,000, raising their share in international freight operations from 35 percent to 60 percent.
The government is focusing on key initiatives: expanding alternative trade routes, simplifying transit procedures, and negotiating bilateral agreements to reduce or eliminate border fees. These measures aim to streamline cargo flows, enhance connectivity, and mitigate the risks posed by geopolitical disruptions.
