During his visit to Tashkent’s Chilanzar district in 2019, the Head of state visited the Orient Ceramic company and noted that it is essential to expand its activities.

After that, another factory was built in Tashkent’s Sergeli district, and advanced technology from abroad was installed. The enterprise started operating in June this year and employed 450 people.

President Shavkat Mirziyoyev got acquainted with its work process and inspected the quality of products.

This project costs $42 million, and it has an annual production capacity of 10 million square meters of tile and ceramic granite products. The products are several times cheaper than foreign ones, as they are made from almost 100% local raw materials. Their high quality, different colors, and sizes ensure their marketability.

Previously, ceramic granite tiles of such large sizes were imported to Uzbekistan. Now it is possible to export half of the products and replace them.

The Head of state gave instructions on implementing new projects based on the experience of this enterprise.

A dialogue with Tashkent city districts’ hokims took place. They informed about entrepreneurship, employment, and creative projects.

“The outlook of the hokims is changing due to our reforms and opportunities given to the regions. Today, Tashkent districts are setting big goals. The most important issues are reducing unemployment, attracting investment, and exporting. We have started the program “20 thousand entrepreneurs – 500 thousand qualified specialists” This is a great opportunity for residents and entrepreneurs. Another important task is our nationwide project “Green Space”. It is necessary to continue planting seedlings, creating gardens, increasing the number of green areas, and creating conditions for people’s recreation”, Shavkat Mirziyoyev said.

Instructions were given on studying foreign experience in entrepreneurship, digitization, and services.
