An official delegation from the Andijan region, led by Hokim Shukhratbek Abdurakhmanov during an official visit to Belarus, held negotiations with the Chairman of the Grodno Regional Executive Committee, Yuri Karaev.
Priorities of Economic Cooperation
As a result of the meeting, the parties identified four key areas for developing trade and economic ties, as well as for implementing joint investment projects.
Agriculture and Livestock Farming
One of the main areas of cooperation will be the livestock sector. The parties are considering the possibility of acquiring unused livestock complexes in the Grodno region to create meat processing facilities intended to supply the Uzbek market.
A project for growing high-yield potato varieties in the Grodno region was also discussed, which will cover an area of about 3000 hectares.
Furniture and Raw Material Base
Furthermore, an agreement was reached on the supply of quality timber from Belarus, which will serve as necessary raw material for furniture production enterprises in Uzbekistan.
The development of cooperation in the furniture industry will proceed in stages. In the initial phase, producers from the Grodno region will be provided with trade space in a large furniture center located in the Altynkulsky district of the Andijan region. In the future, the parties plan to establish joint furniture production facilities directly in Uzbekistan.
At the conclusion of the negotiations, representatives of the Andijan and Grodno regions confirmed their readiness for further expansion of trade, economic, and investment cooperation, agreeing to ensure the implementation of the approved projects in the shortest possible time.
