The agreement, signed by Director (Minister) of Agency for the Development of Light Industry Nozimjon Kholmurodov and Cotton House Founder and CEO Fouzia Atif, aims to integrate Uzbek textile manufacturers into global supply chains through Cotton House's network of international buyers across Europe, North America, and the Middle East.

Under the MoU, Cotton House will work with the Uzbek ministry to identify and develop qualified suppliers of fabrics, yarns, and value-added textile products of Uzbekistan.

The partnership will also include training, knowledge-sharing, and capacity-building programs to help local manufacturers meet global quality, sustainability, and compliance requirements.
