The first offers from growers of popular grape varieties “Rizamat” and “Kishmish Kora” (Black Kishmish) of the new crop appeared on the domestic market of Uzbekistan on the 20th of June 2022. In a week, these novelties of the season have already arrived on the shelves of the capital’s supermarkets, EastFruit specialists report.
These grape varieties are among the most popular grown in Uzbekistan. According to the results of a survey by EastFruit specialists in May 2021, Kishmish Kora (Black Kishmish) became second in the popularity rating after the Khusayne variety, with its varieties and clones, and Rizamat and Rizamat F-1 – third along with such varieties as “Mercedes” and “Toyfi”.
