Turkmenistan to set up network of bakeries The Turkmengallaonumleri association will reconstruct and build 14 bakeries and 2 elevators in the cities and villages of Turkmenistan by 2012.
It is expected that the Turkmenbashi bread-baking plant will be commissioned in 2009. The plant will produce 10 thousand tonnes of bread and other farinaceous foods a year. Modern elevators will be built in the grain growing districts of Atamurat and Halach next year.
Two bakeries with the capacity of 14 thousand tonnes a year each will be built in Ashgabat by 2010. They will also have confectionery plants. Five more modern plants will be commissioned in the cities of Tejen, Gumdag, Kuniyaurgench, Bayramali and Magdanly in 2-3 years. Their annual capacity will range from 2,5 thousand tonnes to 10 thousand tonnes.
Along with construction of new plants there are plans to carry out major renovation of existing plants, the Turkmensitan.ru correspondent has learned from the Turkmengallaonumleri association.
In 2009, bread-baking plants of Dashoguz, Turkmenabat, Mary, Balkanabat and Bereket will be fully reconstructed. A bakery in Serdar city will be reconstructed in 2010. Reconstruction works will be carried out under a special scheme without disruption of the production cycle.
The plants of Dashoguz, Balkanabat and Turkmenabat will turn into production complexes after reconstruction. Along with bread they will also produce macaroni, 1,5 tonnes a year each.
It should be recalled that Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov signed a special resolution on 15 August. The resolution approved a programme of construction of bakeries in Turkmenistan for 2008-2012.
