The President visited newly commissioned industrial enterprises in Jizzakh

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with the activities of enterprises in the free economic zone "Jizzakh".

Previously, the Jizzakh region was a region with one of the lowest indicators of industrial production per capita. Today, industry is actively developing in every district of the region.

To date, 27 projects have been implemented in the economic zone and about 5.3 thousand jobs have been created. In recent years, its activities have expanded and it has become even more convenient to conduct business here. Now enterprises produce a wide range of industrial goods.

In October 2022, the confectionery company "Iruskon" started working in the FEZ. The Head of State inspected its technological process and products.

Here, based on the experience of Russia, Turkey, Germany and Italy, confectionery products are made under the brand "Deya". The annual capacity is 12 thousand tons of products. About 100 people are provided with work. For the implementation of the second stage, it is planned to bring additional equipment worth $ 5 million from Germany and Turkey next year. As a result, 550 new jobs will be created.

Another enterprise of the free economic zone is the limited liability company “Master Building Products". It produces 3 million units of pipes, fittings and construction materials per year. About 600 jobs have been created. The Head of State got acquainted with the showroom of the enterprise.

The Uzbek-South Korean joint venture "Global Optical Communication" is capable of producing 85 thousand kilometers of cable and wire products per year. 115 people work here.

During the visit to the enterprises, the President gave recommendations on increasing the level of localization, the production of import-substituting and export-oriented products.

Currently, 14 more projects are being implemented in the Jizzakh SEZ, 5 of which will be commissioned this year.
