The world-famous cotton industry in Uzbekistan is gradually going to second place. A new generation of domestic textile brands that are conquering the European and Asian markets are breathing in her back. What is behind the rise of the domestic light industry and the transformation of the cotton industry?

As it follows from the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of January 25, 2018, in 2018, 13 textile clusters will be created in Uzbekistan, to which 140,900 hectares of land are allocated. This model implies the organization of a single production cycle, which includes the cultivation of raw cotton, primary processing, further processing at cotton ginning enterprises and the production of final textile products with high added value.
