Mahemadiyiwa Bahila, a farmer from Dangara in Khatlon Prefecture, Tajikistan, takes the free shuttle bus to the textile industrial park every day and works in the winding workshop for 8 hours. The high-quality cotton yarn she produces is sold every day. To Russia, Turkey, Kazakhstan, Egypt, China and other countries.
Mahemadieva Bahila is one of the 500 workers in the China-Thailand New Silk Road Textile Industrial Park. She can receive a monthly salary of approximately 2,300 yuan, which is considered a high-income group in the local area.
Xiao Ruixin, chairman of Zhongtai (Dangala) New Silk Road Textile Industry Co., Ltd., who returned from Tajikistan one day ago, told China News Service reporters that the company grows 200,000 acres of cotton locally and processes nearly 10,000 tons of lint every year, with an annual output of 6 Thousands of spindles of yarn, becoming the largest textile industrial park in Central Asia.
The Textile Industrial Park has become Tajikistan’s industrial “business card”
On August 28, 2015, the Sino-Taiwan New Silk Road Textile Industrial Park produced its first cone of yarn. Most of the yarn produced that day became “souvenirs” and many officials in the country kept them in their homes.
Tajikistan is known as the “country of mountains”. 93% of its land area is mountains and hills. Its cultivated land area is about 8 million acres, mainly planting fruits and cotton. Due to its superior light and heat resources, Tajikistan has become one of the five largest cotton-producing areas in the world, producing high-quality cotton.
In 2014, Xinjiang Zhongtai, a chemical company that mainly produces PVC (polyvinyl chloride) and chlor-alkali, made a decision to adjust and transform its industry: to enter the textile industry, in addition to its layout in southern Xinjiang, it also chose to develop in countries along the “Belt and Road” go out”.
In July of that year, the China-Thailand New Silk Road signed a Memorandum of Understanding on Textile Development Cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and New Technology of Tajikistan, and the project was included in Tajikistan’s national projects and key projects of China-Tajikistan cooperation.
It took less than two years for a modern textile industrial park to lay the foundation, build a factory, and put into production. Xiao Ruixin said that “China’s efficiency” surprised Tajik officials. It was established with the world’s cutting-edge mechanical equipment and USTER testing equipment as the core. The “Chinese quality” makes them even more proud.
The cotton yarn produced in the industrial park is now in short supply, and yarn transport vehicles from different countries queue up at the entrance of the textile industrial park every day.
The Textile Industrial Park has become a bridge between people
Ru Sinan is one of the 38 Tajik workers who came to Wuxi, China to receive textile technology training.
Xiao Ruixin said that the biggest headache after the completion of the textile industrial park was the lack of local skilled workers, and they had to train them themselves. 38 people received paid training, with the cost per person reaching 100,000 yuan.
Now that such a man has become a technical backbone, his salary has become one of the most enviable employees in the industrial park. He used a smartphone and bought a car for his family.
Xiao Ruixin said that the management of the China-Thailand New Silk Road Textile Industrial Park is integrated into China’s “family culture”. Holiday benefits, bonuses, and double overtime wages are management methods that reflect Chinese culture and make Tajik employees feel the warmth of home. They There is a sense of belonging and a “sense of glory”.
Xiao Ruixin said that the company has also set up a special employee assistance fund to solve emergencies and difficulties at home. “As business efficiency increases, local education and medical care must also be supported,” he said. “China and Thailand want to build a century-old enterprise in Tajikistan.”
“One Belt, One Road” benefits many parties
Hajdal, the First Deputy Minister of Industry and New Technologies of Tajikistan, said in an interview with Chinese media in early April that the successful operation of the China-Thailand New Silk Road Textile Industrial Park is the result of the joint construction of the “Belt and Road Initiative” between China and Tajikistan. , “One Belt, One Road” benefits many parties.
Xiao Ruixin was deeply touched by these words. The project was listed as a national project of Tajikistan at the beginning of its construction, and a “leading group” was specially established to connect with China, providing China with cotton planting land, 12-year exemption of value-added tax and corporate income tax, and tax-free entry of equipment purchased into Tajikistan. Tajikistan’s support also provides confidence for the smooth operation of the industrial park. Now the company has achieved the expected benefits. Tajikistan’s agricultural planting level and industrial development capabilities have been greatly improved. As a result, the local area has obtained considerable tax revenue, provided people with employment, and improved living standards.
Mraudali Alimalton, former deputy prime minister of Tajikistan and president of the National Agricultural Investment Bank, recently told the Chinese media that Tajikistan’s development requires foreign investment, and the China-Thailand New Silk Road project allows the Tajik government to see the hard work of Chinese companies. Spirit. “The Belt and Road Initiative brings us opportunities,” said Mraudali Alimalton. “Chinese Efficiency” and “Chinese Quality” in Central Asia’s Largest Textile Industrial Park
