Fish farming cluster planned in Namangan region of Uzbekistan using South Korean technologies

The regional administration announced plans to create a large-scale, next-generation fish farming cluster in the Namangan region of Uzbekistan. This project involves attracting foreign direct investment and utilizing South Korean technologies.

A delegation from the Namangan region visited South Korea as part of a working trip led by the region's governor, Shavkatjon Abdurrazzakov. During the visit, regional representatives inspected the Aqua Plaza & Jang Hang Fish Farm complex—a modern smart facility for aquaculture that employs innovative methods.

Following negotiations, the Namangan regional administration, U.K. Global Network, and Aqua Plaza & Jang Hang Fish Farm signed a tripartite memorandum of understanding and cooperation.

The planned complex will cover all major stages of fish production. One focus will be on implementing smart aquaculture technologies, which include digital and intensive management of water bodies. Furthermore, the project includes deep fish processing, industrial packaging, and the production of finished food products intended for export markets.

Another emphasis will be placed on creating an independent feed source. The Namangan region intends to localize the production of high-quality, nutritious fish feed that meets international standards. This project is expected to enhance the agro-industrial and export potential of the Namangan region, as well as strengthen food security.
