The Eurasia Group has opened a garment factory in the Kashkar Kyshtak Village, Kyrgyzstan in partnership with the US Agency for International Development (USAID).
A part of the bigger textile and garment complex being developed in the region with an investment of over $27 million, the garment factory was built with a capital of over $3.5 billion with USAID providing technical assistance to improve product quality, create more efficient production processes, create a website and organise a fashion hackathon.
According to the US embassy in Bishkek, the unit will generate 600 jobs besides expanding the country’s presence in global markets.
Garments produced in the factory, on its being fully operational will be exported to the the Middle East and North Africa, the European Union, and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
