Tajikistan will look for where to buy tens of thousands of tons of sugar

Tajikistan relies entirely on imports for its sugar supply due to the absence of domestic production, with the Russian Federation being its largest supplier, contributing over 45 thousand tons out of the total 141.5 thousand tons imported last year. Other notable suppliers include Pakistan, India, Belarus, and Iran. The cost of sugar imports has seen an increase, with the average price reaching $669 per ton, which is $61 more than the previous year, highlighting the country's dependency on foreign sources for this essential commodity.
