DUSHANBE, Tajikistan, August 7. Tajikistan churned out 4,547 tons of motor fuel (excluding aviation gasoline) from the start of the year through the halfway mark in June 2025.
Data obtained by Trend from the country’s Statistical Agency shows that
the output experienced a 2.5-fold escalation from the 1,808 tons
documented in the corresponding timeframe of the previous year.
The uptick transpired within the context of a comprehensive 5
percent year-over-year escalation in production within the national
manufacturing domain, aggregating to 13.91 billion somoni (roughly
$1.4 billion) during the initial semester of the fiscal year.
Notwithstanding the escalation in motor fuel generation, the
aggregate yield of petroleum derivatives experienced a contraction
of 33.6 percent, primarily attributable to diminishing quantities
of fuel oil (decreased by 37.1 percent) and diesel fuel (reduced by
19.4 percent).
The food processing sector exhibited robust performance metrics,
evidenced by an 8 percent uptick, propelled by augmented production
levels in vodka and liqueurs (up 26.5 percent), pasta (up 17.7
percent), confectionery (up 41.8 percent), and poultry meat (up
19.8 percent).
Concurrently, the textile and apparel sectors experienced a
contraction of 3.5 percent, characterized by significant declines
in fabric output (decreased by 19.1 percent), hosiery production
(plummeting by 77.1 percent), and cotton fiber yield (diminished by
52.7 percent).
The output of non-metallic mineral products experienced an uptick
of 6.2 percent, bolstered by a significant increase in cement
production (up 18.0 percent), a robust surge in construction
concrete (up 37.8 percent), and a remarkable escalation in brick
manufacturing (up 49.9 percent).
