Uzbekistan Chemical industry

Chemical Factories and such enterprises as: Tashkent Synthetic. Detergents, Andijan and Ferghana Hydrolysis, Tashkent Plastic Material, Tashkent Chemical-Pharmaceutical.
In 2008 the growth in the production of chemical output accounted for 8.4%. This was achieved mainly by an increase in the physical volumes of nitrogenous fertilizers (by 4.6%) and phosphate fertilizers (by 3.8%). Production of the new product, caustic (soda) ash, grew by 66.1%. The modernization and technical upgrade of the ammonia producing businesses fell behind the schedule. This was the main factor which impeded the further growth of the production of mineral fertilizers that account for more than 80% of total output.
