An official and business delegation from Poland, headed by the President of the Polish Chamber of Commerce, Andrzej Arendarski, has arrived in Tashkent.
The visit's program includes holding a business forum, bilateral meetings between enterprises (B2B), and visiting major industrial facilities in Uzbekistan.
The main goals of this trip are to expand cooperation in trade and investment between the two countries, develop industrial partnerships, and launch new joint business projects.
As part of the Uzbek-Spanish business forum, the Spanish delegation visited agricultural enterprises in the Tashkent region of Uzbekistan. The purpose of the trip was to study modern technologies used for growing vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants, as well as to seek opportunities for further cooperation.
The first stop was the greenhouse complex of Agrohouse LLC in the Tashkent district. This facility covers an area of 7 hectares and is involved in the production of tomato, cucumber, bell pepper seedlings, and other agricultural crops, as well as various ornamental flowers.
Company representatives provided the Spanish delegation with a presentation of their production processes, highlighting the capabilities of the greenhouses, cultivation technologies, and operating conditions.
Next, the delegation inspected the intensive fruit complex belonging to Eko Agro Product LLC, located in the Yukori Chirchik district. The total area of this complex is 140 hectares.
On this territory, 91 hectares are dedicated to apple orchards, 25 hectares to pears, and 11 hectares to peaches. Additionally, 4 hectares each are allocated for apricots and plums.
One of the key points of interest was the drip irrigation system installed throughout the orchard. This technology ensures that water is delivered directly to the plants, which contributes to increasing the efficiency of water resource use.
The complex is also equipped with storage facilities and cold rooms for preserving harvested products. During the visits, Spanish representatives studied Uzbekistan's experience in developing greenhouse and intensive horticulture, including the practical application of advanced agricultural technologies. The parties also discussed potential areas for future interaction in the field of agriculture.
The administration of the Tashkent Region reported that a delegation from Uzbekistan made a working trip to Belarus with the aim of strengthening bilateral cooperation and increasing trade and economic relations. The delegation was headed by regional governor Zoir Mirzaev.
At the beginning of the visit, Mirzaev met with Uzbek citizens working in Belarus. They discussed working conditions, as well as plans and issues causing them concern. Furthermore, the delegation familiarized itself with investment projects being implemented by Uzbek entrepreneurs in Belarus.
Subsequently, the delegation visited the Minsk Automobile Plant (MAZ), where it studied the company's production processes. During discussions with the plant management, led by General Director Valery Ivankovich, the parties spoke about industrial partnership, localization of specialized vehicle production, updating public transport fleets, and implementing joint investment projects.
Mirzaev emphasized MAZ's activities in the Uzbek market and proposed expanding cooperation through new production projects in the Tashkent Region and utilizing existing industrial capacities. According to the regional administration, the 'Nurafshon Special Technique' enterprise in Nurafshon could be used for assembling municipal and specialized vehicles on MAZ chassis. Potential localization areas mentioned included garbage trucks, tankers, and cranes based on trucks.
Another proposed area of cooperation is the modernization of passenger and cargo transport fleets in the region's cities. The Uzbek side suggested considering options for supplying buses and trucks using installment plans over several years or through leasing, depending on the region's needs. The regional administration noted that this approach would allow for gradual modernization of transport infrastructure while reducing the financial burden on transport companies.
The parties also discussed establishing a service center for MAZ equipment and a spare parts warehouse in the Tashkent Region. Other proposals included manufacturing vehicle body elements and various metal products at local enterprises, as well as training technical specialists, exchanging engineering experience, and improving personnel qualifications.
Mirzaev stated that interaction with MAZ is critically important for diversifying the region's industry, increasing local production, attracting investment, and expanding high value-added product output. MAZ is one of Belarus's major industrial enterprises, producing heavy trucks, buses, trolleybuses, municipal and specialized vehicles, as well as chassis for special equipment, modern buses, and electric transport.
During the visit, Mirzaev also met with Deputy Prime Minister of Belarus Viktor Karankevich, who oversees the industries of industry, energy, forestry, and science in the government. Karankevich welcomed the delegation from the Tashkent Region. The parties stressed that friendly and trusting relations between the leaders of the two countries are important for expanding mutually beneficial cooperation, strengthening economic ties between regions, and implementing joint projects.
The dialogues focused on expanding industrial interaction in line with the economic potential of the Tashkent Region and establishing closer ties between production enterprises. Investment attraction and experience exchange were also discussed. Participants emphasized the significance of developing cooperation in areas of mutual benefit, effective utilization of existing opportunities, and turning new initiatives into practical results.
Entrepreneurs from the Tashkent Region of Uzbekistan arrived in Poland with the aim of strengthening economic and trade relations, developing industrial cooperation, increasing exports, and launching joint projects.
The delegation is headed by Dilshod Rasulov, head of the project office of the Tashkent Region at the Agency for Industrial Cooperation and Public Procurement. According to a statement from the Tashkent Region administration, the visit program includes meetings with government representatives, industry organizations, and major Polish companies.
