2018 年，通过一个题为“加强转型和发展中经济体参与跨境农业粮食供应链的能力”的项目，欧洲经委会为参与费尔干纳山谷农业供应链的女生产者举办了一系列能力建设活动，该地区横贯吉尔吉斯斯坦、塔吉克斯坦和乌兹别克斯坦。该项目的重点是促进为杏子通过统一的标准，将小规模干杏生产集中起来。自采用该标准以来，对许多其他种类的产品采取了类似方法，从而实现了该区域内外跨境农业贸易流动和国际价值链多样化。
In 2018, through a project entitled “Strengthening the capacity of transition and developing economies to participate in cross-border agricultural food supply chains”, ECE organized a number of capacity-building activities for women producers involved in agricultural supply chains in the Fergana Valley, an area that ex tends across Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The project was focused on promoting the adoption of a harmonized standard for apricots and pooling the small-scale production of dried apricots. Since the introduction of the standard, a similar approach was taken with respect to many other types of produce, resulting in the diversification of cross-border agricultural trade flows and international value chains in the region and beyond.
