DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

500 hectares of agricultural land has been leased to foreign firms in recent years for experiments on technologies that would help make Tajik agriculture more productive and efficient. The plant will process 15,000 tons of raw cotton. Construction of an oil-pressing workshop is planned as well, which will process up to 12,000 tons of cotton and sunflower seeds per year.

The local Agricultural Investment Bank of Tajikistan signed an agricultural cooperation agreement with the Agricultural Bank of China in 2014. An agreement on cooperation was made between Tajikistan’s Khatlon region and the province of Henan in China for the construction of an agro-industrial complex.
