Uzbekistan-based Global Textile Group plans to establish a significant textile hub in Kazakhstan. The company aims to launch five facilities in the Maktaaral district of the Turkestan region, including a logistics center, a cotton processing plant, a textile factory, dyeing and spinning workshops, and garment factories.
The cotton processing plant will have an annual capacity of 13,800 tons, supplying both the Kazakh market and European exports. The textile factory is slated to begin operations in 2027.
This ambitious project is expected to create over 2,000 permanent jobs and has an estimated total cost of 21 billion tenge ($39.61 million), according to Kazakh media reports.
Muzaffar Razakov, CEO, Global Textile Group, and Nuralkhan Kusherov, Governor, Turkestan region, recently discussed the project's development.
In preparation for this venture, the company introduced 'Namangan-77' cotton seeds last year, cultivating them across 3,200 hectare. Additionally, they have completed construction of a cotton reception center with an annual capacity of 10,000 tons.
