Sahib Mammadov, Azerbaijani deputy economy minister, at the event dedicated to the textile industry development prospects in Baku on July 11 announced that an association of textile producers and exporters is being established in Azerbaijan as the entrepreneurs, operating in this area, voiced such an initiative.
The establishment of the association will accelerate the process of making the necessary decisions aimed at the development of this sector, Mammadov said.
In general, such associations serve to improve relations between the state and the private sector.
Arif Mardanov, executive director of the Baku spinning and weaving factory, said that the association must solve a sufficient number of problems in this sector. There are already eight associations in the country and now there would be establishing the ninth association.
At present, one of the main problems of the sector is the lack of production of raw materials for their industry as more than 70 percent of raw materials are imported from foreign countries. Despite they have recently increased the production of cotton, the quality leaves much to be desired. Therefore, they must work hard in this direction.
