“We presented this project during the visit of our President to Fergana region on May 5-6, 2019”, said Abdurakhmon Niyazov. – The production capacity of the enterprise is 9 thousand tons of paper per year, and the cost of the product is $9 million. The Head of the state instructed to implement such a project not only in Fergana but in all regions of the country.

Uzbekistan imports paper worth 550 million dollars, and if the project is implemented in the Republic of Karakalpakstan, regions, and the capital, the volume of imports will significantly decrease. Four specialists from China’s GX-Tech are training the company’s staff in assembly, the use of modern technology, and other important aspects of work.
