As Spot previously wrote, Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on the topic of socio-economic development of Kashkadarya region.
The President emphasized the need to create new businesses and jobs. In 2024, the region will attract $1 billion in investments, including $337 million from Russia and $352 million from China.
Thus, in Dekhkanabad, Kitab and Karshi districts, 100 hectares of land in industrial zones will be transferred to business for investment projects worth $300 million. Another $50 million will be allocated to the food industry of the region.
The cotton terminals of Karshi and Kitab are being converted into industrial parks with 5 thousand jobs. In addition, it is planned to open a textile technology park in Kashkadarya and invite famous European clothing brands to cooperate.
In the textile sector, 33 projects will be launched for $370 million. This will triple the production of fabric and by 60% – finished knitwear, as well as provide employment for 60 thousand people.
