President Emomali Rahmon once again calls on Tajikistanis to make two-year food stocks; this time due to climate change and deterioration of the socioeconomic situation in the world. 

“In recent years, I have always emphasized that every family in the country must have a supply of necessary food products for up to two years,” Rahmon noted in his congratulatory message on the occasion of the Sada festival on January 28.  

The head of state emphasized that climate change and deterioration of the socioeconomic situation in the world make this issue especially relevant. 

In this context, making two-year food stocks becomes an important measure to ensure the country’s food security, the president noted. 

The Tajik president’s official website says Emomali Rahmon has emphasized that this decision is based on in-depth analysis of the unpredictable situation in the modern world, including the collapse of old supply chains and constant rise in food prices.  

The president reportedly noted that “everyone must work harder, use land and water efficiently and rationally, produce as much product as possible, contributing to the implementation of the national strategic goal – protection of the country’s food security.”
