On January 30, the Minister of Agriculture of Tajikistan, Kurbon Hakimzoda, informed journalists at a press conference that a week ago the president ordered a ban on the export of key agricultural products – potatoes, onions, and carrots – until prices stabilize in the market.
Currently, the price of one kilogram of onions in the country’s markets is 8-9 somoni, potatoes 4-5 somoni, and carrots from 4 to 6 somoni.
According to Hakimzoda, the decision will remain in effect until the spring harvest arrives in the markets, after which farmers will be able to export their products.
According to the minister, in 2022 Tajikistan exported 191.2 thousand tons of agricultural products worth a total of 54.3 million dollars.
According to authorities, last year Tajikistan harvested 672 thousand tons, as in 2022 onions were planted on 2,500 hectares less than in 2021.
