In terms of oil production, Kazakhstan ranks first (80 million tons); Turkmenistan ranks second (6 million tons) and Uzbekistan ranks third (5 million tons). Turkmenistan is rich in natural gas deposits, ranking second in the CIS after Russia in terms of reserves. Coal deposits are found in all the republics except Turkmenistan.
Electric power in the countries of Central Asia is relatively well developed. Kazakhstan produces up to 90 billion kW/hour; Uzbekistan 52-54 billion kW/hour.
Kazakhstan stands out, smelting up to 2.0 million tons of steel per year, and Uzbekistan (0.6 million tons). Polymetallic products are diverse: lead, zinc, copper, chromium (Kazakhstan); lead, zinc, copper, gold, silver, etc. (Uzbekistan).
The chemical industry is concentrated on the production of taiyuan cell phone number list mineral fertilizers. The exception is Kyrgyzstan, where the chemical industry has not developed.
Mechanical engineering is developing at a high rate. It is concentrated in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, where cars, trucks and buses are produced.
Light and food industries are developed to varying degrees everywhere.
Agriculture plays a significant role in the economy of Central Asia. The leading place belongs to farming. The main tracts of irrigated land are located in Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan, which specialize in the production of industrial crops and, mainly, cotton. In turn, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan specialize in the production of grain crops. Grain farming is also developed in Uzbekistan.
In livestock farming, sheep farming occupies a leading position. This applies to a greater extent to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. Cattle breeding is typical for suburban areas and densely populated oases.
