Preparations are now ongoing for the launch of a new textile complex in Turkmenistan’s Ahalvelayat’s Kaka etrap, according to the country’s Vice-Premier Chary Gylyjov, who reported to President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov during the Cabinet of Ministers meeting on Friday.
According to Turkmen official media, the Vice-Premier stated that the new modern textile complex, which is outfitted with machinery from foreign manufacturers, is aimed at producing 3,650 tonnes of yarn, 12 million square metres of various types of fabrics, and 1.2 million tonnes of finished products annually.
Turkmen President Gylyjov said the commissioning of a new textile enterprise will create 1,300 new jobs and increase its export potential.
