Turkmenistan unveils plans to expand its industrial sector

BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 6

By Jeila Aliyeva - Trend:

President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov has ordered to speed up establishing industrial production of cement, metal structures and finishing materials, Trend reports with reference to Turkmenportal Information Portal.

Necessary instructions on the matter were given to Deputy Prime Minister Shamukhammet Durdylyev, who oversees the construction, industrial and energy sectors.

The president also pointed out the necessity to build new plants for production of mineral fertilizers, which will allow for additional crop yields.

In addition, the head of the state ordered to analyze construction work in the country and determine a new program in this direction for 2021.

Turkmenistan has increased cement production by 20 percent and reduced the cost of its manufacturing by using basalt additives.

Basalt additives were developed by researchers at the Institute of chemistry of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan.

Thus, manufacturers began to enrich the mixture of clinker and gypsum with crushed porphyritic basalt, which is local raw material extracted at the Ufra deposit in the Balkan region.
