Leading Malaysian robotics solutions provider, MERAQUE Group, has entered into a strategic partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture of Uzbekistan. The project, formalized through the signing of a memorandum of understanding, aims to establish drone manufacturing for agricultural purposes. The total value of the project is estimated at around $5 million.
The main goal of the partnership is to introduce innovative technologies into Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector, which plays a significant role in the country’s economy. MERAQUE plans to contribute to increasing the efficiency of the agricultural industry by organizing the production and deployment of drones to manage agricultural processes.
These drones will automate tasks such as crop monitoring, fertilization, pest control, and resource optimization, ultimately reducing costs associated with agricultural work. As part of the partnership, a strategy will also be developed to create a drone ecosystem that will position Uzbekistan as a leader in agricultural technology across the post-Soviet space.
Over the next three years, MERAQUE Group plans to invest approximately 20 million Malaysian ringgit (about $5 million) to establish a cutting-edge drone manufacturing facility in Uzbekistan. This project is expected to create around 1,000 new jobs and have a positive impact on the country’s economy by servicing about 100,000 hectares of agricultural land.
The manufacturing capabilities and drone deployment will be supported by training programs for farmers and agricultural specialists. The Malaysian company plans to share its knowledge and advanced technologies to improve professional training in Uzbekistan and develop a sustainable agricultural system.
This project marks a significant step in the development of Uzbekistan’s agricultural sector and the attraction of foreign investment to the country. The use of drones and other robotic solutions opens up new horizons for improving productivity and efficiency in farming. With 4.3 million hectares of agricultural land, Uzbekistan will be able to manage its resources more effectively and optimize operations in the agro-industrial sector.
Additionally, the company plans to attract an additional 30 million ringgit ($7.1 million) in subsequent stages of the project.
