Turkmenistan to host international textile fair next month

Turkmen ministry of agriculture and water resources, state commodity and raw materials exchange and the chamber of commerce and industry will participate in the two-day event beginning November 25 in the capital city of Ashgabat, Turkmen media reports said.

This year, cotton was sown in nearly 50 per cent of all irrigated fields in the Central Asian country. Turkmenistan exports cotton to several countries, including China, South Korea, Iran, Russia, Indonesia, Ukraine, Turkey, Singapore, the UK and Baltic countries. A portion of cotton is also consumed by about 20 domestic textile firms that operate predominantly with Turkish partners. (RKS)
