Ukraine's largest online retailer Rozetka has announced the expansion of its delivery points in the Uzbek capital after two months of commissioning.
Vladislav Chechetkin, co-founder of the online store, said that two delivery points were already operating in Tashkent, and there were plans to open four more.
"I am very cautious in my forecasts, but it seems that the market of this country of 35mn people is very lively and we are developing even faster than planned," Chechetkin said.
He further spoke about plans to enter regions of the country, in particular Samarkand, Namangan, Andijan, Bukhara and Fergana.
Rozetka also intends to expand product categories. Electronic gadgets and household appliances are now available on its website, while clothes, household goods, sporting goods will soon appear.
"Our team is also developing a cross-border model. Millions of products from the Ukrainian Rozetka website will be available to customers from Uzbekistan, and Uzbek goods will be able to enter the Ukrainian market. The marketplace should also be launched in 2022," Chechetkin added.
Chechetkin noted the favourable business climate in the country. According to him, among partners and state officials, everyone was interested in creating new jobs.
