The official opening of ERMAK-ALO, a new fruit processing plant, took place in Fergana, Uzbekistan, in a small industrial zone in the Kirguli district. Investment in the project amounted to approximately $2 million, and the plant is focused on both the domestic and export markets, with plans to increase annual production to a similar amount.

Fergana Region Governor Khairullo Bozorov, along with representatives of the business community and the public, attended the ceremony. The plant's launch was one of the region's most significant investment events this season.

Meanwhile, the ERMAK brand itself has long since expanded beyond the local market. According to the company, in the second half of last year, its dried fruits became the top-selling brand among 50 competing brands on the German market—a result the producers consider a sign of recognition from European consumers.

Turkmenistan is one of ERMAK's key partners. The company announced the imminent arrival of new product lines on the Turkmen market, featuring branded packaging and a focus on high quality, health benefits, and compliance with halal standards. The products will be available for sale at bazaars and retail outlets across the country.
