Efforts are underway in the Jizzakh Region to improve the investment climate, attract advanced technologies to agriculture and the agro-industrial complex, and expand international partnerships, and these efforts are showing tangible results. One of the significant events was the visit of the 'Beijing Longmu Holding Group' delegation from the People's Republic of China, aimed at promoting mutually beneficial cooperation.
During the visit, members of the delegation held talks with Bekzod Egamov, Deputy Governor of the region, who oversees industrial development, investments, and trade in desert and steppe areas. During the meeting, detailed information was presented on the investment potential of the Jizzakh Region, large-scale reforms being carried out in the agricultural sector, priority tasks for modernizing livestock farming, as well as the favorable business environment and incentives provided by the state for foreign investors.
Today, one of the key directions is attracting investment in livestock farming and processing industry to ensure the country's food security, produce competitive products, and increase export volumes. The production capacities, land and natural resources, transport and communication capabilities, and conditions created for investors in the Jizzakh Region generate significant interest among foreign companies.
According to the visit program, guests familiarized themselves with the 'Milk Foods' dairy and processing complex located in Sharof Rashidov district, as well as the 'Jizzax Organic' national agricultural cluster operating in Zomin district. The modern production processes implemented at these enterprises for growing agricultural products, their deep processing, value addition, and finished product manufacturing generated great interest among representatives of the Chinese company.
During discussions, the possibilities for developing livestock farming in the Zarbdor district were discussed separately. The parties exchanged views on the prospects of expanding breeding livestock, creating modern high-productivity livestock complexes, and implementing innovative technologies and effective management systems. It was emphasized that such projects will contribute to increasing the volume and quality of products, expanding processing capacities, creating new jobs, and sustainable regional economic growth.
As a result of the meeting, preliminary practical agreements on cooperation were reached. Specifically, the initial acceptance of 1000 head of breeding livestock for the expansion of the 'Jizzax Organic' cluster was agreed upon, and 'Beijing Longmu Holding Group' gave preliminary consent to invest 15–20 million US dollars in this project. This agreement will become an important basis for expanding production capacities in livestock farming, developing high-productivity breeding livestock, and introducing modern technologies into the industry.
During the negotiations, a promising initiative was also put forward: the management of 'Jizzax Organic' proposed creating a modern 'Logistics Hub' (a large distribution center for managing goods flow) based on the livestock complex in the Zarbdor district, which will serve Central Asian countries. Launching such a center is of great importance for increasing the region's export potential, ensuring fast delivery of products to external markets, reducing logistics costs, and strengthening the regional supply chain.
At the end of the negotiations, the parties agreed to continue consistent cooperation in areas such as breeding livestock development, deep processing of agricultural products, production of export-oriented finished products with high added value, and implementation of investment projects.
The visit of the 'Beijing Longmu Holding Group' delegation to the Jizzakh Region is of significant practical importance for strengthening economic partnership, attracting advanced foreign experience and modern technologies to the region, increasing the competitiveness of the agro-industrial complex, and implementing new investment projects.
