The Head of our state got acquainted with the activities of new enterprises of the “Urganch cluster” textile cluster in Khorezm region.

Five years have passed since the launch of the cluster. Today it represents a full vertically integrated system covering all stages – from cotton growing to sewing ready-made clothes. The enterprises of the cluster employ 3 thousand people.

The cluster processes all cotton volume grown on 8,5 thousand hectares of land. For this purpose the cotton-cleaning and oil-treatment factories are operating in the cluster.

In the recent years the spinning and weaving capacities have been significantly increased. At the expense of additional investments two more new enterprises have been launched, with modern equipment from Germany, Japan and Türkiye installed.

A training and practical center has been established on the production site. It provides training for future seamstresses and designers, who then go on to work at enterprises within the cluster.

As a result, production volumes are expected to increase significantly: approximately 10,800 tons of yarn and 3 million units of garments are planned to be produced annually.

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev visited the new factories, got acquainted with the production process and finished products, and spoke with the women seamstresses working there, inquiring about their salaries and working conditions.

The majority of the high-quality clothing produced here is intended for export. The enterprise's annual export potential is around $28 million.

Recommendations were given on expanding the product range and improving product quality, increasing export volumes, and reducing production costs through energy efficiency.
