For example, more than 5,000 people live in Boboshbek mahalla alone. Their products are supplied to the regions of the country and neighboring countries through the Kokand market. As a result of modern conditions, the geography of deliveries is expanding.

The President got acquainted with the activities of the sewing enterprises here, the conditions created for entrepreneurs and buyers.

It is expected that the complex will manufacture products worth 876 billion UZS per year, exports will amount to $18 million. Over 7.7 thousand citizens can get permanent jobs.
