An environment worthy of a modern city appeared: the Ayagoz Meat Processing Plant, a creamery and a tannery, known throughout the USSR, worked. Half of these products were supplied to other regions of the USSR. Then the plant for the production of reinforced concrete products and a brewery performed their work.
