BAKU, Azerbaijan, Jan. 13
By Fakhri Vakilov - Trend:
Uzbekistan’s Tashkent Agricultural Machinery Plant will begin to produce iron castings by the end of 2020, Trend reports citing the Uzbek media.
In December 2020, the launch of the first stage of the plant with a capacity of 12,000 tons of casting per year and a cost of $16.3 million is expected.
The design capacity of the new production is 30,000 tons of precision casting that meets international requirements of metal products. The total cost of the project is $41 million.
In the coming years, new manufactures will be commissioned at the Tashkent Agricultural Machinery Plant, which will become the impetus for the establishment of full-fledged agricultural engineering.
In addition to the production line, which is being created on the basis of one of the empty buildings with an area of 3 hectares, 4 more projects are being implemented here for a total of $24 million. They are aimed at mastering the production of transmission shafts, rims, cabs and fasteners.
It is expected that new capacities, on the basis of cooperation, will deliver components not only to enterprises of Uzbekistan’s Uzagrotehsanoathholding JSC agriculture machinery holding, but also to manufacturers of cars, trucks and buses that are part of the Uzavtosanoat system.
Nowadays, Uzbekistan’s agriculture needs more than 11,000 units of equipment, including 4,000 tractors, 500 combines and more than 5,000 suspension and towing equipment annually.
In addition, this demand will increase even more, taking into account the planned reclamation of 263,000 hectares of land by 2022 and more than 1 million hectares by 2025.
