Uzbekistan Focuses on Supporting Construction Material Producers

Uzbekistan is ramping up local coal production in Surkhandarya to support construction material manufacturers, addressing industry challenges and boosting fuel supply.

A meeting was held with construction material producers of Uzbekistan under the leadership of Deputy Prosecutor General S.I. Samadov and Minister of Mining Industry and Geology B.F. Islamov. The event brought together representatives of responsible departments to address existing challenges in the sector.

Key issues discussed included operational problems faced by producers, particularly in cement manufacturing, and strategies for overcoming these obstacles. A major point of concern was the availability of coal required for production.

Officials informed entrepreneurs that coal deposits are actively being developed in the Surkhandarya region, presenting an opportunity for local coal fuel to be supplied to manufacturers. This initiative aims to improve the reliability and quality of fuel for construction material production, reducing dependence on external sources.

The meeting underscored the government’s commitment to supporting local industries and enhancing the efficiency of Uzbekistan’s construction material sector.
