The relationship between foreign trade export and economic growth of Uzbekistan
22
Uzbekistan, located at Farghona and Amtiari, have a combined capacity of 173,000
barrels per day. Other centers of the processing industries include Angren (for coal),
Bekobod (steel), Olmaliq (copper, zinc, and molybdenum), Zarafshon (gold), and
Yangiobod (uranium). The Uzbek fertilizer industry was established at Chirchiq,
northeast of Tashkent, near Samarqand, and at several sites in the Fergana Basin.
Uzbekistan is the largest producer of machinery for all phases of cotton cultivation
and processing, as well as for irrigation, in the former Soviet Union. The machine
building industry is centered at Tashkent, Chirchiq, Samarqand, and Andijon in the
east, and at Nukus in Karakalpakstan. he predominant light industries are primary
processing of cotton, wool, and silk into fabric for export, and food processing. In
1989 light industry accounted for 27.1 percent of industrial production; that category
was completely dominated by two sectors, textiles (18.2 percent) and agricultural food
processing (8.9 percent). The nature of the Uzbek textile industry in the mid-1990s
reflects the Soviet allotment to Uzbekistan of primary textile processing rather than
production of finished products. Food processing has diversified to some degree; the
industry specializes in production of dried apricots, raisins, and peaches. Other
products are cottonseed oil for cooking, wine, and tobacco.
