Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) -- President of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the activities of the Khiva carpet factory.

Previously, the building at the site of the enterprise was not used. In September 2020, a modern plant was organized here, and in August of this year, the implementation of the second stage of the project started.

The enterprise is equipped with energy-saving equipment from Germany, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France and Turkey. It produces polypropylene yarn, carpets and other products. They are exported to the USA, Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan.

The head of state examined the technological process and showroom of the enterprise.

The plant has created 250 jobs. In 2022, the third stage will be implemented - a project for the production of yarn from acrylic fibers. As a result, the production capacity will reach 2.2 million square meters per year. It is expected that 45 percent of the products will be shipped abroad, and the annual exports will exceed US$5 million.

The President gave instructions on expanding the range of products and creating similar enterprises in other regions.

This was the end of Shavkat Mirziyoyev’s trip to Khorezm region.
