Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — Uzbekistan’s Uztextileprom Association and Russian company Sportmaster have discussed opportunities to expand cooperation and place orders with Uzbek textile manufacturers.
The talks were held between Saida Mirhamidova, deputy chair of the association, and Sportmaster Director Svetlana Lyaper.
One of the key topics was transparency in pricing for yarn, fabrics and other raw materials. The parties highlighted the importance of clear pricing principles to help calculate production costs, plan procurement and agree on the terms of cooperation.
They also discussed prospects for expanding the domestic production of accessories and fittings in Uzbekistan, including zippers, cords and elastic bands. Developing this segment could shorten production times and reduce reliance on imported components.
Particular attention was given to monitoring the use of chemicals in textile manufacturing. The safety of dyes, finishing agents and finished products is important for protecting human health and the environment, as well as meeting the requirements of major buyers.
The participants also considered ways to ensure stable prices for raw materials and production resources. Predictable costs allow manufacturers and buyers to plan seasonal procurement more effectively and meet agreed commitments.
Uztextileprom noted that direct dialogue with international buyers helps identify barriers to cooperation and determine priorities for further growth in exports of Uzbek textile products.
