Uzbekistan Rice Snack Production Project — 1,000 t/yr Featured by Yangiyo‘l District Administration & UZA

A real, operating production line — not a rendering, not a proposal, but a project verified by Uzbekistan's national press.

On August 24, 2026, UZA (Uzbekistan National News Agency, O‘zbekiston Milliy Axborot Agentligi) — the country's official state news agency — published a dedicated report titled "Yaponiya texnologiyasi — Yangiyo‘lda" ("Japanese Technology — in Yangiyo‘l"), covering a newly launched 1,000 t/yr rice snack production project in the Yangiyo‘l District of Tashkent Region.

The story was reported in coordination with information previously released by the Yangiyo‘l District Administration's official press service, giving the project a rare double layer of confirmation: local government disclosure, cross-verified by national-level media.

Why This Coverage Matters

In an industry where "case studies" are too often marketing copy dressed up as news, this project stands apart for one simple reason: it was reported by someone other than the equipment supplier.

• UZA is Uzbekistan's official state-run news agency, tasked with reporting economic and industrial developments of national interest.
• The Yangiyo‘l District Administration is the local government body directly overseeing the district where the facility is located.
• Both sources independently referencing the same project — with matching details on location, technology origin, and production scope — is the kind of third-party corroboration that due-diligence teams, investors, and prospective buyers actually look for.

For anyone evaluating a food processing equipment supplier, this distinction matters. A rendering on a company website is a claim. A government-linked news agency publishing a report on a functioning facility is evidence.

Project Snapshot

The project reflects a broader trend already visible in Uzbekistan's food industry: local processors are actively seeking Japanese and other advanced production technologies to move beyond raw commodity export and into higher-value, shelf-stable, export-ready snack products — a shift that regional administrations have been openly promoting as part of local industrial development goals.

The Technology Behind the Line

Turning raw rice into a light, crisp, shelf-stable snack is a materially different challenge than milling rice for the table. It requires precise control over moisture conditioning, extrusion or puffing temperature, shaping, drying, and seasoning application — all while maintaining consistent output at industrial volumes.

This is where equipment engineering depth becomes the difference between a pilot line and a plant that reliably hits 1,000 t/yr, day after day, batch after batch.

That's the space HG has worked in for half a century.

With 50 years of technical excellence, HG has been at the forefront of innovation in food machinery manufacturing. From pioneering automated food processing solutions to engineering precision equipment for food production lines, our legacy is built on expertise, craftsmanship, and a commitment to progress.

Five decades of iteration on extrusion and snack-forming technology means fewer surprises on commissioning day — and a production line built to run, not just to demo.

A Model for Real Industrial Cooperation

Projects like the Yangiyo‘l rice snack facility illustrate what practical China–Central Asia (and Japan-technology-informed) industrial cooperation looks like on the ground: a defined capacity target, a local government partner, a working facility, and — critically — a public record that anyone can verify.

For food processing companies, investors, and government partners evaluating similar projects in Uzbekistan and the wider Central Asian region, this case offers a template worth studying: technology transfer that shows up not just in a press release from the supplier, but in the pages of a national news agency.
