Nearly a thousand local residents provided with jobs

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev's trip to Andijan region began in Bustan district. A textile enterprise of Saiyora Favvorasi Limited Liability Company was recently commissioned here.

Within the framework of the project with the total cost of 113 billion UZS, a manufacturing facility with the latest equipment from Turkey was constructed. Production of over 50 types of ready-made knitted garments for men, women and children was mastered. Annual production capacity is 1 million 200 thousand items. Around one thousand local residents are provided with job.

The main part of quality products is exported under Elegance SM brand. The annual export volume is expected to be $4 million.

"When we embarked on setting up the conditions for this venture, many did not believe it would work successfully. Bustan was one of the economically backward areas. It is good that such enterprises are being opened and people are gaining a source of income. It is necessary to continue this work and increase the number of jobs," the Head of State said.

A vocational training centre has also been opened here. Unemployed residents of the region can learn trades there. In particular, 200 socially disadvantaged women have been recently trained and employed.

Talking to them, the President noted that having an education and a profession is a great achievement of a family. He wished success to the company and family well-being to the women.
