A new Uzbek-Tajik joint venture in Uzbekistanโ€™s Fergana region highlights how emerging markets are reshaping global supply chains. With the U.S. increasing trade and investment in Central Asia, projects like this are strengthening international industrial and economic ties.

Private Investment Launches Osiyo Kabellari

The new facility, named Osiyo Kabellari, was founded by Uzbek businesswoman Fatima Imomova and Tajik investor Shukhradzhan Ashurmatov. The plant, located in the Dangara district, sits on a one-hectare site. The project is financed by $10 million in private foreign investment with no government funding involved.

Osiyo Kabellari was created specifically for this venture. The initiative shows Central Asiaโ€™s shift toward private-sector-led industrial growth and cross-border collaboration.

Wire Production to Power Key Industries

The plant will start operating by the end of the year. It plans to produce 15,000 tons of copper wire and 1,700 tons of aluminum wire annually. These products will support infrastructure, energy, and manufacturing supply chains across the region.

The new operation will create about 100 permanent jobs, boosting local employment. AdditionallyOsiyo Kabellari intends to export up to $1 million in wire products to CIS markets, focusing on Kyrgyzstan during its first phase.

Building Regional Integration and Export Capacity

This joint venture supports both Uzbekistan and Tajikistanโ€™s goals of expanding trade and private enterprise. It strengthens regional economic integration and encourages industrial diversification.

For international partners, including the United States, the project shows how Central Asia can grow as a reliable manufacturing hub for global supply chains.

Central Asiaโ€™s Expanding Role in Global Trade

According to Diplomatic WatchUzbekistan remains one of Central Asiaโ€™s most reform-driven economies. The country continues to open its markets and attract new investment. In 2024U.S. trade with Uzbekistan reached $600 million, especially in manufacturing, energy, and infrastructure.

The Uzbek-Tajik joint venture Osiyo Kabellari demonstrates how emerging partnerships drive industrial growth. The project also highlights Central Asiaโ€™s potential to become a key link in global production and trade networks.
