Tajikistan has begun to export mineral fertilizers to Afghanistan. It has recently delivered 626 tons of fertilizer produced at the Azot plant in the Khatlon region, valued at $169,000.
According to information issued by the regional customs department, 13,700 tons of agricultural products were exported through the Khatlon checkpoint at the beginning of July, including 8.7 tons of onions, 438 tons of melons, 2.7 tons of fruit and grapes, and 120 tons of other products. In addition, 13,200 tons of onions were exported through customs checkpoints in the Sughd region, bringing the total volume of agricultural products exported by the Khatlon region to 27,100 tons. The value of imported goods to the Khatlon region amounted to $107.6 million.
Such a significant growth in trade relations with Afghanistan points to closening relations between Tajikistan and its neighbor.
