The volume of agricultural product exports from January to June 2022 was over 27 million dollars, which is 15.5 million dollars or 28.1% more than in the same period of 2021.
The volume of agricultural product exports is over 110 thousand tons, including more than 75 thousand tons of vegetables, 19 thousand tons of dried fruits, more than 15 thousand tons of fruits, and other types of agricultural products.
Tajikistan mainly exports onions, dried fruits, carrots, plums, grapes, apricots, cabbage, lemons, and others.
At the same time, onion prices in the country have risen from 1.5-3 somoni to 8 somoni, which is an increase of 3-4 times.

The ban was introduced at the end of July, but onion prices in the country have not changed.
