Uzbekistan plans to raise textile export volume to $2 billion this year, according to Uzbek Textile Industry Association chairman Ilhom Haydarov. The government is planning to reprocess all cotton yarn produced in the country domestically by 2025 and hike export of textile items to $7 billion, he told the ‘Global Textile Days in Tashkent 2019’ event recently.

The country has turned from an exporter of raw materials into a supplier of value-added textile products and it exported textile products worth of $1.6 billion last year, a news agency quoted him as saying.

The International Cotton Advisory Committee will hold its 8th meeting within the framework of the forum, which will bring together scientific experts and specialists from leading cotton-producing countries of the world. (DS)
