Juice factory to be opened in Bashkiria

The Minister of Economic Development and Investment Policy of Bashkiria Rustam Muratov, during a briefing of the BST and the Center of Republic Management RB, spoke about the plans of the republic to implement several joint investment projects with Uzbekistan in the field of agriculture.

“Greenhouses, orchards, deep freezing, sublimation – all this is for us the know-how that will allow us to take certain steps. We have agreements to open a juice production plant in Bashkortostan. Our Uzbek colleagues voiced this intention during the meeting. Now we are packing it, we will provide the most convenient location. Therefore, juices, primarily from our vegetables, will be sold,” Rustam Muratov said.

He added that Uzbekistan was also extremely interested in cooperation in the cultivation and deep processing of potatoes.

“There is already an agreement with an Uzbek company that produces chips. There are also intentions to produce, process, and grow sugar beet,” Rustam Muratov explained.

In addition, Bashkiria is considering the possibility of creating a joint production for processing cotton. The republic produces components that are supplied to Uzbekistan for the production of fabric.
