The Dzhaikhun district in Tajikistan's Khatlon region is planning a increase in lemon harvest this year, with collection already underway. The region, which has 135 hectares of greenhouses in Jaihun, produced 5050 tons of lemons last year, with 201 tons exported. Amirshokh Toirzoda, a local farmer, harvested 8 tons of high quality Meyer lemons last year, which he sold in bulk to Dushanbe entrepreneurs. Despite cold weather damaging most shoots, the seedlings are now growing well.
