Yozovon, located in the central districts of the Fergana Valley, possesses a unique climate and geographical zone. Livestock farming is also developed among the sand dunes. Thanks to the picturesque landscapes in the region, there are more than ten ponds where famous carp is grown, which is in demand among consumers in neighboring provinces.
Initially, fishing could have been the driving force for the area, but the development of the industry was hindered by problems with feed supply.
The Chinese company 'HUALONG SILIAO' studied the needs and demand for aquaculture in Yozovon and built a plant that produces 30 thousand tons of feed annually, investing $10 million in it. The plant has already been commissioned and has started shipping its first products to local farms.
Company head Jasurbek Ikromjonov reported that they produce five types of products, which differ depending on the type and size of the fish. 80 tons of feed are prepared on each shift at the plant. The product includes flour, fish, chicken meat, soy, corn, rice, and millet.
Co-founder of 'HUALONG SILIAO', Joe Bing, noted that the produced feed has medicinal properties, helping to cleanse the fish of various parasites. Furthermore, this feed does not sink in the water, meaning that one hundred percent of the provided feed is consumed by the fish. Previously, the previous feeds decomposed in the water, and 15-20% settled before the fish could eat them.
The plant's products are continuously sent to customers. The unique characteristics of this feed attract aquaculture farmers and enterprises from remote provinces.
Jasurbek Ikromjonov added that currently, special vitamin, medicinal, and antibacterial feeds for fish, as well as feeds against various parasitic diseases, are being produced. The finished products are delivered to Samarkand, Khorezm, and Jizzakh. The main goal for next year is to start exporting products to foreign countries. The company is located in the Fergana region and is currently the only enterprise in Central Asia in this field.
