Cotton to garment in one country
Turkmenistan grows the cotton, spins the yarn, weaves the denim and cuts the garment inside its own borders. The Türkmenbaşy jeans complex — GAP-Türkmen CJSC, operating since 1996 on the Ashgabat–Türkmenbaşy road — runs denim weaving and garment making on one site under the Ministry of Textile Industry. For a buyer that means a single origin for the whole chain and no third-country fabric to declare.
How the price is quoted
Turkmen denim garments are quoted on the state commodity exchange without the cost of accessories — buttons, rivets, zips, labels and packaging are priced separately or supplied by the buyer. Compare that against a Turkish or Bangladeshi FOB quote, which normally includes trims, or the Turkmen figure will look lower than it is. Ask for the trimmed price when you enquire and we will get both.
Where it sells
Turkmen denim garments trade on the state commodity exchange with Kyrgyzstan as the largest buyer, then Türkiye, the UAE and Azerbaijan. Denim cloth goes the other way — two-thirds of it to Türkiye — so the Turkish trade is in fabric and the regional trade is in finished garments.
