Both would exploit the local livestock heritage. The announcement came at the end of a visit by the CEO of the Chinese company, Gao Jong Tao, to the region. And he told himself so to the governor of the region, Davlatali Said.
During the meeting, the province’s bilateral relations with Chinese companies and the functioning of Tajik-Chinese joint ventures in the area were discussed. According to Asia-Plus, construction work on the new tannery could start as early as next June. This would be a way to make the most of the local pastures. “Unfortunately, only 0.4% of the leather available in the region has been processed so far”, Said concludes.
