Industrial production has reportedly increased over the report period by 14.6 percent. Textile and sewing sectors have increased by 80 percent over the same three-month period. Production of cotton fiber has increased 1.2 times in January-March of this year that has allowed increasing export of this product by 65.1 percent, the quarterly survey conducted by the EDB Analytic Unit said.
However, the fall in international cotton prices has led to a 24.9 decrease in Tajikistan’s export proceeds and the fall in export prices and the rise in import prices has resulted in the trade balance deficit increasing, the survey noted.
