During the period of our country's independence, special importance has been placed on improvement and construction efforts, the creation of new jobs, the production of domestic and import-substituting goods, and, overall, ensuring a decent standard of living for the population and transitioning to sustainable development of the national economy through accelerated industrialization in all regions of the republic. Since the implementation of industrialization goals in cities and districts through the establishment of small and large industrial enterprises using new innovative technologies ensures the growth of material production, it contributes to the sustainable development of the national economy and significant progress in all economic and social sectors.
That is why, in the first three months of the current year, the growth rate of industrial production in the Sughd region exceeded 133.3%. Overall, the volume of industrial production amounted to 8 billion 418.1 million somoni, which is 2.3 billion somoni more than the same period last year, taking into account the price index.
This was reported by Hakimbek Nakhatzoda, Head of the Main Department of Statistics of Sughd.
According to him, during this period, 48.9% of total industrial output came from the mining industry, 44.6% from manufacturing, 6.1% from power supply (electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning), and 0.4% from water supply, wastewater treatment, waste processing, and secondary products.
“There are 1,242 industrial enterprises operating in the region, 38 of which provide industrial services. During the first three months of the current year, 801 enterprises, or 64.5% of the total, increased production compared to the same period last year, while 221 enterprises (17.8%) showed a decrease in output. At the same time, 220 enterprises (17.7%) reported zero production, of which 44 were deemed non-operational,” Nakhatzoda noted.
During this period, the production of food products increased by 2.2% compared to the first quarter of last year, mainly due to a threefold increase in the production of animal feed, a 34.1% rise in vegetable oil, a 20.6% increase in poultry feed, and a 19.8% increase in flour production.
