OVERCOMING LOGISTICAL CONSTRAINTS IN UZBEKISTAN THROUGH INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT CORRIDORS AND MULTIMODAL SYSTEMS
Abstract
As a double landlocked country, Uzbekistan faces inherent logistical constraints that significantly influence its participation in global trade. Limited direct access to seaports, dependence on transit routes through neighboring states, and high transportation costs pose substantial challenges to the competitiveness of Uzbek exports and the efficiency of import supply chains. In the context of increasing globalization and intensifying regional economic integration, overcoming these logistical barriers has become a strategic priority for Uzbekistan’s economic development.
