Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a decree “On measures for accelerated development of the textile, sewing and knitting Industries”.
The document defines important areas for further reform of the textile industry.
In particular, Uzbekistan plans to increase the share of the textile industry in the economy, the volume and quality of textile products produced in the country.
It is also planned to improve the systems of standardization and certification in the field of the textile industry, as well as to introduce advanced information and communication technologies in the industry.
Uzbekistan also intends to implement a cluster model for development of the textile industry, as well as to introduce innovative technologies, know-how, design developments, etc. into the production process.
The decree approved the Roadmap for accelerated development of the textile and sewing and knitting industries in the Republic of Uzbekistan, which contains more than 20 measures to improve the management and training of personnel, modernize production, technological process and develop the infrastructure of the textile industry, enhance foreign economic activity, implement international standards in the textile industry.
In order to develop a healthy competitive environment and introduce market mechanisms in the organization of production of raw cotton, the decree envisages to carry out an experiment in which it is planned to introduce for the first time a system for ordering raw cotton directly from farms and other agricultural producers by domestic textile enterprises.
To date, domestic textile enterprises have been forced to purchase cotton fiber from a monopoly supplier - Uzpahtasanoatexport - at export prices. This procedure reduced the profitability of production and the competitiveness of textile products.
In accordance with the experiment initiated by the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the textile industry enterprises will finance the main costs of farms for growing raw cotton by advancing at least 60 percent of the cost of the contract.
At the same time raw cotton, supplied to enterprises, will be used exclusively for further deep processing and production of finished competitive products.
In addition, in his Decree, the Uzbek President supported the proposal of the textile industry enterprises, the shareholders’ meeting of Uzbekyengilsanoat and a number of departments on the establishment of the Association Uztekstilprom (Uzbek Textile Industry,. At the same time, Uzbekyengilsanoat, combining state regulatory and economic functions, is liquidated.
The Uztekstilprom Association is assigned a wide range of tasks to ensure sustainable development of the textile industry of the republic.
