Tajikistan: Chinese company to build two cotton processing factories in Tajikistan
Tajikistan’s Minister of Agriculture Kosim Rohbar and Chen Dao Chuan, the director of Chinese company Chuntay-Danghara-Sin-Sil-Textiles, met to discuss construction of two cotton processing factories in Tajikistan.
The new factories are expected to be built in the Dangara and Jilikul districts of the Khatlon province, the ministry said on Monday.
The design works for the new factories are nearing completion, the ministry said.
Chen Dao Chuan expressed his appreciation to the Tajik government for allocation of 15,000 hectares of land for growing cotton in the Dangara district. He also proposed creating of the so-called Chinese Corner in these two districts, where the Chinese side will introduce the latest agricultural machinery and technology, methods to grow lemons, construction of fish ponds, bee-keeping technology, and agricultural training centers.
The Agriculture Ministry has supported the Chinese proposals.
Last November it was reported that China’s Henan province will invest $800 million in the agricultural sector of Tajikistan in accordance with the agreement signed in Beijing during a meeting between Tajikistan President Emomali Rakhmon and the Governor of the Henan province, Xie Fuzhan.
Chinese investments will fund construction of facilities to process agricultural produce in Tajikistan, to build a flour plant, a mineral fertilizer plant, a vegetable oil plant, as well as agricultural machinery and fodder plants.
