According to official data, over 971.4 thousand tons of cement were produced in the country in the first quarter of this year, which is more than 60.3 thousand tons, or 5.9%, less than the figures for the same period in 2021. In the first quarter of 2021, more than 1 million 31.7 thousand tons of cement were produced.

Despite the reduction in production in the first quarter of 2022, cement exports are planned to reach 2 million tons by 2024.

An annual growth in cement exports is projected at 200 thousand tons. By 2024, the cement production volume is planned to be increased to 7 million tons per year.

If the country manages to export 2 million tons of cement per year, it could generate 98 million dollars from cement exports alone.

Currently, 16 enterprises are engaged in cement production in Tajikistan, with a combined annual capacity estimated at 5.6 million tons of products.

According to official data, all domestic demand for cement is met through domestic production.

In 2021, more than 4.2 million tons of cement were produced in Tajikistan. According to statistical data, about 1.4 million tons of cement were exported to neighboring countries for a total of 65.4 million dollars.
