Previously, we bent over, planted and picked cotton, but other countries benefited from this. Thanks to the opportunities created in recent years, new enterprises are emerging, entrepreneurs are developing freely, and the level of processing is growing. Due to the formation of clusters and due to the business approach, the quality of cotton is also changing. If the cotton is of high quality, it will be easier for the entrepreneur, and the product will be of high quality and competitive, - said Shavkat Mirziyoyev. It is noteworthy that the factory buildings were built in the form of hangars, without using a large number of materials. As a result, 6 million dollars were saved on construction alone. Noting the influence of this factor on the cost price and competitiveness of products, the head of state pointed out the importance of using this experience in the construction of other textile complexes.
