In January-October, fruit production in Tajikistan decreased by 2 thousand tons

For 10 months of this year, 351.8 thousand tons of various fruits have been grown in the Republic of Tajikistan. This is almost 2 thousand tons less than the same period last year, when the production volume was 353, 82 thousand tons. Industry experts explain the decrease in fruit production by unfavorable weather conditions in a number of regions of the republic, which have caused damage to stone and seed fruit orchards. The year turned out to be bad, for example, for the farmers of the city of Isfara. Spring frosts did not allow the gardeners of this region, which is one of the main apricot bases of the republic, to collect the predicted harvest of this fruit. Farmers in a number of districts of the Zeravshan Valley, Shakhristan and Devashtich district, the city of Istaravshan, as well as dekhkans who planted orchards in the foothills of the Gissar ridge did not receive the harvest of apples, pears, and quince.
