Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - The head of the Carrera jeans company, Mr. Gianluca Takella, the Ambassador of the Republic of Uzbekistan to Italy O. Akbarov, the chairman of the Uztekstilprom Association I. Khaidarov, took part in the online meeting, organized with the assistance of the Embassy of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Italy and representatives of the Ministry of Investment and Foreign Trade.
For a detailed acquaintance with the potential of enterprises in the textile industry of Uzbekistan, the meeting was also attended by manufacturers of jeans - СBCT Group, Afrosiyob Djeans, Zif Textile and others.
The main topic of the negotiations was the consideration of the possibility of increasing the export of domestic textiles to the EU countries by placing orders at the enterprises of the industry by an Italian company and releasing products under the Carrera jeans brand.
In his speech, the chairman of the Uztekstilprom Association I. Khaidarov presented to the participants of the negotiations a presentation of the export and investment potential of the textile industry.
In particular, I. Khaidarov noted that today the textile industry of Uzbekistan is the most investment-attractive industry in the country. This is due to a number of factors - the availability of raw materials (cotton fiber), including eco-cotton certified by international organizations, skilled labor, and government support.
“The investment climate of Uzbekistan is favorable and open for foreign investors as never before. The production of products under the Carrera jeans brand is of great importance for the textile industry of Uzbekistan. And we hope that the great experience and the name of the Italian company will contribute to the increase in exports and the competitiveness of Uzbek products in the world market "- said I. Khaidarov.
In addition, the Italian side was provided with information on the cultivation of eco-cotton in Uzbekistan and work with Better Cotton Initiatives on certification of cotton fiber in Uzbekistan.
“We are one of the largest cotton producers in the world. For us, a big challenge is the cultivation of organic cotton, which we intend to develop. A lot of work has been done to implement the BCI system. It will bear fruit soon,” said Khaidarov.
Mr. Gianluca Takella thanked the Uzbek side for organizing the meeting and noted that during his visit to the Namangan region, as well as these negotiations with Uzbek manufacturers, he was impressed by the technological capabilities of the industry enterprises.
J.Tuckella stressed that at the first opportunity and stabilization of the situation in the world associated with the pandemic, he will visit Uzbekistan, in particular, the BCT Group, which he admires and whose activities he would like to get to know personally.
Following the negotiations, the parties agreed, before the resumption of air communication between the countries, to send samples of products of Uzbek manufacturers to Italy to study them before the visit of Carrera jeans representatives to Uzbekistan.
