Shavkat Mirziyoyev visits “Kumtepa” youth small industrial zone in Uychi district

In 2021, an industrial zone specializing in blacksmithing was created here, with the necessary conditions for craftsmen and artisans working from home. Occupying three hectares, the complex is provided with all the necessary infrastructure, including roads, energy supply, drinking water supply and sewerage.

At the first stage, 52 projects were implemented here and more than 1,500 jobs were created. Craftsmen purchase raw materials from the Asia Metal Prof enterprise and the Tashkent Metallurgical Plant, and make gates, doors, canopies, grilles and other metal products from metal.

The demand for these products is high. Therefore, entrepreneurs opened their trading houses and production branches in all areas. In addition, products worth $1.2 million were exported to neighboring countries.

Energy-saving methods are introduced in the production process, and solar panels are used effectively.

As part of the second stage, it is planned to implement another 45 projects on an area of two hectares. As a result, another 1,330 new jobs will be created.

The President gave instructions to responsible persons on the effective use of the territory of the industrial zone, encouraging young people and unemployed citizens to engage in crafts.

The tasks of reducing unemployment through work at the mahalla level were also discussed here.

Based on the example of the experience of Saykhunabad, 788 mahallas of 14 districts of the region are assigned heads and responsible employees of economic organizations. They, together with the mahalla “seven”, studied the capabilities of 557 thousand households.

- In Saykhunabad, I said that “this year will be a year of vital awakening and the rise of our economy”. The goal is to invest in human capital, encourage activity, and change the worldview. Uychi is also a difficult area economically. It is necessary to establish a new system here, to help the unemployed earn income from their plots, open their own business, and realize their abilities, the President said.

The head of state also visited the center of the Kumtepa mahalla and got acquainted with the conditions created for the population.

About 5.2 thousand people live in the mahalla. Households specialize in metal processing, agriculture and services.

This year the appearance of the mahalla has improved. A new building was built for the citizens' gathering. All houses are connected to water supply. Internal roads and electrical networks were repaired. As part of the Yashil Makon program, fruit and ornamental trees were planted along the roads.

The mahalla has a sewing workshop, a beauty salon, sports grounds, a medical center, a library, grocery stores and pharmacies.

An Entrepreneur Support Center has also been created in the new mahalla building. Here the population and entrepreneurs can take advantage of some government services. The President approved this, emphasizing the need to resolve issues related to government bodies, if possible, in the mahallas themselves.
