According to official information, on the morning of November 2, the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon arrived in the Yovon district and inaugurated the nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer production enterprise LLC “TALCO Chemical”.

The company produces nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers using phosphorus powder imported from abroad and sulfuric acid produced at the enterprise itself. The production capacity of the new enterprise is 200 tons per day, and it produces 75,000 tons of mineral fertilizers per year. The price per ton is 2,000 somoni (about 200 dollars).

In Tajikistan, mineral fertilizers of foreign production are mainly used. The main suppliers are Uzbekistan, Russia, and Pakistan. The production of local mineral fertilizers will significantly reduce the import of this type of product into the country, the report notes.

LLC “TALCO Chemical” is one of the subsidiaries of the Tajik Aluminum Company “Talco”, which is controlled by Hasan Asadullozoda, the brother-in-law of President Emomali Rahmon. The construction of the enterprise in the Yovon district began in 2016. The total area of the enterprise is 17 hectares.
