| Social and cultural significance | An unusual taste is distinguished by the baking of Uzbek pastry chefs: zangza cheesecakes, couch-tili figured cookies, baursack, sweet brushwood and nuts in sugar, nicholda and sumalyak. Sweets are closely associated with the main Uzbek holidays. All small-scale industries belong to domestic crafts. There are many masters in the production of confectionery and bakery in the country. Confectioners, depending on the types of products they make, are called differently: candolatchi, shirapaz, shakarpaz, holvagar, navvotpaz. They have small workshops where they produce local sweets. Small and medium-sized entrepreneurship in this area is also developed. Confectionery is one of the youngest but most dynamic food industries in Uzbekistan. As of the beginning of 2020, 962 enterprises engaged in the production of confectionery products are operating in the republic. Together, these enterprises provide work for more than 60,000 citizens throughout the republic. The total volume of production in 2019 exceeded 250,000 tons, which is about 150 million dollars. At the moment, more than 200 enterprises are participants and observers of the Confectionery Development Association. At the end of 2019, participating enterprises attracted investments in the form of capital investments alone in the amount of more than $50 million. The production capacity of these enterprises allows to meet the demand of all potential consumers of domestic and external markets. |
