Tajikistan: Apricot and dried fruits from orchard to market

Tajikistan boasts a rich horticultural history dating back to ancient times. Apricots from this region are renowned for their exquisite flavour and are among the main products exported. By some estimates, around 10 percent of the world’s apricot orchards are located in Tajikistan. Businesses embrace sustainable practices to ensure environmental health and long-term viability, supporting entire communities of farmers to produce top-quality goods for generations to come. Thanks to the Ready4Trade Central Asia project financed by the European Union, businesses received technical expertise and digital marketing skills, helping these Tajik apricot and dried fruit producers to reach international customers while making a positive impact on trade and communities.
