Exports of home appliances to partner countries tripled in 6 months

This year 1.2 trillion soums have been allocated for infrastructure of industrial zones. However, not even 40% of funds have been spent in Kashkadarya, Samarkand and Khorezm provinces.

Provincial officials and governors have been instructed to personally visit industrial zones where infrastructure has not yet been installed and complete the work.

Over the past six months, exports of household appliances to partner countries' markets have increased 3-fold, transformers 3.6-fold, medical products 9-fold and knitwear 2-fold.

If we manage to get more copper, metal, polypropylene raw materials, our businessmen will be able to increase exports several times.

But it was criticized that the responsible ministries are not dealing with these issues.

For example, the demand for polypropylene is 70,000 tonnes a year for the production of carpets. However, twice as much polypropylene is put on the exchange. As a result, the price has risen by 30 per cent to $1,800 per tonne.

Similarly, formalin, used in the furniture industry, is sold domestically at $260 ($60 more than in competitive markets).

It has been criticised that, despite the conditions created and the availability of funds, the responsible ministries and officials are not addressing these problems.

Working with the producer and traders until 1 December, it was instructed to create a reserve by importing the missing raw material and to place it graphically on the exchange.
