During his visit to Andijan region, President Shavkat Mirziyoyev reviewed the activities of the Sokin Savdo Servis poultry cluster in Baliqchi district.

Poultry meat plays an important role in the population’s diet due to its dietary qualities and affordability. Therefore, particular attention is being paid in Uzbekistan to establishing large-scale poultry complexes, localizing production, and ensuring a stable supply of high-quality products to the market.

The poultry cluster was established in 2010. Today, it operates five farms in Andijan region and three farms in Namangan region. The enterprise in Tashkent region produces feed for poultry.

The cluster has established a complete production chain covering feed production, poultry farming, slaughtering, meat processing, packaging and delivery to consumers. The meat processing complex is automated and meets high hygiene standards.

The total value of the project amounts to $29 million. The cluster employs 417 people.

Currently, 1.5 million broiler chickens are being raised at the complex. It has the capacity to raise 8.2 million broilers and produce 20,600 tons of poultry meat annually.

The complex has processing capacities for 55,000 tons of chicken meat and semi-finished products per year. Products are manufactured in accordance with Halal, HACCP and ISO standards.

Since the beginning of this year, the cluster has also launched a breeding program. At present, 25,000 breeder hens are being raised, with plans to obtain 7.6 million broiler chicks annually from 9 million eggs.

By the end of 2027, a rendering line for processing poultry waste will be launched, and a multi-tier cage system for poultry farming will be introduced. A total of $10 million will be allocated to these two projects.

It is also proposed to integrate poultry farms whose operations have been suspended or which are facing financial difficulties into a unified cooperation system with the cluster. This initiative will make it possible to restore 350–400 jobs and additionally produce 1.7 million birds.

The President was briefed on the cluster’s production processes, finished products and new projects planned for implementation in the future.
