TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, February 21. Uzbekistan
and Türkiye’s DoCotton Group discussed further development of the
country’s textile industry and measures to enhance the global
competitiveness of Uzbek textile products, Trend reports via the
Ministry of Economy and Finance of Uzbekistan.
The issue was addressed during a meeting between Uzbekistan’s
Minister of Economy and Finance Jamshid Kuchkarov and Mehmet Doğan,
Chairman of the Board of DoCotton Group.
The parties reviewed prospects for establishing internationally
recognized textile brands, expanding the value-added chain, and
increasing production of high-quality yarn and fabrics through
deeper processing of cotton.
Particular attention was paid to cooperation aimed at improving
efficiency in cotton cultivation, introducing modern agricultural
technologies, strengthening the seed production system, and
improving seed quality.
In this context, the sides emphasized the importance of
expanding research in seed development and applying innovative
approaches to boost productivity and enhance product quality.
The Uzbek textile industry is growing rapidly, turning raw
materials like cotton, silk, and wool into finished clothing after
ending raw cotton exports in 2017. This transition toward
high-value processing has increased production fivefold and exports
fourfold, with over 7,000 factories serving foreign markets,
including LC Waikiki.
Vertically integrated cotton-textile clusters produce items and
employ over 500,000 people. Major modernization efforts have
eliminated child and forced labor, assuring sustainability and
global norms. Government efforts to increase domestic raw material
processing promote Uztextileprom's industry development, event
organization, and production efficiency.
DoCotton Group is an international company headquartered in
Türkiye and recognized as a leading player in cotton cultivation,
textile raw material supply, and processing. The company operates
across the full textile value chain, from cotton production and
processing to delivery to global markets.
