Artificial Intelligence and dual education introduced to Andijan’s textile industry
President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed the operations of Eco Cotton, a knitwear manufacturing enterprise in Andijan district.
The project was implemented under the Presidential Resolution of June 29, 2026, which supports the deep processing of cotton fiber. The enterprise manufactures environmentally friendly textile products from local raw materials, in compliance with international standards, for supply to domestic and foreign markets.
The entrepreneur invested $10 million in the project and created 1,000 permanent jobs. Once the enterprise reaches full capacity, annual revenues to the state budget are expected to amount to 25 billion UZS.
To enhance employees’ skills, a dual education system has been introduced at the enterprise. Young people acquire theoretical knowledge while receiving practical training directly at the production facility.
The enterprise has organized its production process in accordance with modern standards. The enterprise has installed the latest-generation automated conveyor equipment, manufactured by one of China’s leading companies. All processes are monitored through a digital management system.
The company also pays close attention to environmental requirements. The company sends production waste for recycling to reduce its environmental impact.
The enterprise’s technological capabilities are particularly noteworthy. It is equipped with artificial-intelligence sewing machines. In real time, the intelligent system automatically adjusts the sewing process based on the fabric type, ensuring high precision and impeccable seam quality. The company is also using humanoid robots on an experimental basis.
The enterprise has an annual production capacity of 9.4 million units across 30 types of high-quality knitwear products. The total value of its output is 135.3 billion UZS. Thanks to competitive production costs and high quality, the products can compete with those of leading manufacturers from Türkiye, Vietnam, China, and India.
The enterprise’s annual export potential is $10.5 million. It exports high-quality knitwear from Andijan to Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Romania, and Moldova.
The Head of State had a sincere conversation with the enterprise’s employees.
