Bakhtiyor Vapoyev, head of the venture, said that starting from 2009, absorbent cotton will be refined once again and exported as a ready product. Therefore, the company installed modern equipment worth 100 million soums (about US$70,000).

The company’s profit will significantly increase through exporting absorbent cotton, which is demanded in the health care sector. That is, so far 1 tonne of the raw material has been sold at US$1,400, whereas 1 tonne of the ready product - US$3,500.

The capacity of the company is 750,000 tonnes of absorbent cotton per year. The company is now using 70 per cent of its production potential.
