The Tashkent region will no longer be the same

On September 10, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev held a meeting on discussing the reform effectiveness and new plans in Tashkent region.

Additionally, decrees of the President on accelerated development of the region in 2025-2027 were adopted, for the implementation of which over 40 trillion soums were allocated. All these measures allow to decrease the level of unemployment and reduce the poverty scale locally. By the end of the year it’s envisioned to reduce the level of unemployment and poverty to 4,5 percent.

In particular, it is planned to build two substations for the organization of industrial enterprises with foreign investment in the cities of Nurafshan, Almalyk and Chirchik.

In Bekabad, it is planned to establish the production of auto parts to replace imports, in Akkurgan district – to open food and textile industry enterprises, and along the Karasu canal, which flows through the Akhangaran, Angren and Urtachirchik districts – to organize tourist and shopping complexes.

Overall investment projects worth $2,5 billion were developed in the region. Their implementation will ensure employment of over 11 thousand people and create an export potential of $434 million.

Tashkent region has the greatest potential in both industry and agriculture. The main thing is that it surrounds the capital, which is the largest consumer and service market in the country. This is a huge opportunity. By taking full advantage of it, it is possible to increase investment, export, and job creation indicators many times over, — noted Shavkat Mirziyoyev.

There are 263 mahallas in the region that do not yet specialize in manufacturing, industry or services. Therefore, it is planned to develop horticulture, growing lemons, grapes, raspberries, broccoli and seedlings. To assist these mahallas, it has been decided to engage the services of the “Agrostar” company, which will provide the population with seeds and seedlings and guarantee the sale of produce.
