By processing cotton locally, the complex is expected to expand the supply of affordable domestic cooking oil and provide essential feed byproducts for regional livestock operations, while also cutting transport overhead.
Turkmenistan's state policy supports food security and market saturation, with grain production strengthening domestic food security.
