finished products, especially textiles, garments and leather and footwear, food,

The territory of the production complex was originally located in an area close 
to the city of Navoi (556 ha), which in the first phase was allocated 21 cluster areas 
from 6.5 to 250 hectares to accommodate more than 220 industrial enterprises. By 
2009, the total cost was $ 900 million. About 40 investment projects worth $ 5.5 
billion were completed in 2010. Organizational measures have been taken to start the 
implementation of 120 investment projects worth more than $ 1 billion. 
The FEZ is the locomotive of the "growth point" and has a significant impact 
on the process of economic modernization on a national scale. At the same time, the 
Navoi Free Economic Zone is not just an economic and industrial zone, but also 
attractive due to its large transport and logistics potential and convenient 
geographical location. It has a lifespan of 30 years, which can be extended later.

Based on the concept and priorities of the FEZ, enterprises are located here in the 
following sectors and areas: 
• production of electrical products; 
• production of telecommunication equipment; 
• complex enterprises producing machinery, equipment and components of 
production; 
• production of medical equipment and medicines; 
• food processing and packaging; 
• production of plastic and polymer products. 
According to estimates, if the distance from Southeast Asia to Europe passes 
through the city of Navoi, the flight through Dubai will be reduced by 1000 km, as 
well as air travel time will be reduced by 1.5 hours and fuel consumption by 15 tons. 
possible. The landing of aircraft in the territory of Uzbekistan will significantly save 
the time and cost of transporting goods. If the Sino-European road traffic passes 
through Uzbekistan, the distance will be reduced by 1,000 km compared to the 
Russian route. This means that shipping costs on the car will be reduced by $ 800 [9]. 
The train container from Tashkent to the port of Bandar Abbas can be reached 
in 7 days, and from Tashkent via Istanbul to Istanbul in 10 days. This means that 
cargo transportation through Uzbekistan will be twice as fast. Another positive aspect 
is the Navoi EE's short international E-40 highway connecting Europe with China 
and the railways connecting Central Asia, the CIS, Southeast Asia, the Middle East 
and the Persian Gulf. proximity. These conditions were taken into account during the 
signing of a long-term agreement between Uzbekistan and South Korea's Korean Air 
under the program to create an international transport network at Navoi Airport. 
In addition, the airport in Navoi has been completely reconstructed and 
modernized. As a result, the runway was built in accordance with international 
standards, a modern control system was built, and the ability to receive and launch 
aircraft of different levels and weights, even in difficult weather conditions. The 
intercontinental intermodal logistics center at the airport is the only one in the 
Commonwealth where it can quickly unload, load, distribute and place cargo in 
special warehouses. It is also the center of the zone, where goods from Asia to 
Europe and from Europe to Asia become an important part of the global freight 
network. 
Uzbekistan Havo Yollari (Uzbekistan Airlines) has leased two A-300-600 F 
cargo planes from the Republic of Korea for logistics. As a result, the center's 
potential has grown, opening the way for all cargo markets in the world. Because 
each new aircraft can travel 7,000 kilometers with a payload of up to 40 tons without
