5. 1. Construction of ammonia and urea production complex at Navoiyazot OJSC Project goal — further development and modernisation of mineral fertilisers production capacities due to introduction of up-to-date, energy-efficient technologies instead of physically and morally obsolete production, which will promote the increase in exports potential of chemical industry of the Republic of Uzbekistan. Within the frames of this project implementation, the establishing of an enterprise with foreign investments is stipulated with equal shares of Uzbek and foreign parties in the authorised fund. There are all necessary raw materials (natural gas) in the country for establishing of production. Slide № 5
