Grape harvesting continues in Tajikistan

According to Khovar National News Agency on 23 September 2026, Tajikistan had harvested 326,558 tonnes of fruit by 11 September, of which 85,668 tonnes were grapes. The country has 165,570 hectares of fruit-bearing orchards and 36,435 hectares of vineyards.

The Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Tajikistan said that over 35 years of state independence, more than 119,000 hectares of new orchards and vineyards have been established, 2.3 times more than in 1991. It also said the Programme for the Development of Horticulture, Viticulture and Citrus Growing in the Republic of Tajikistan for 2025-2029 has been adopted.

The report says grape growers are not only selling produce to the consumer market, but also storing and drying grapes. Specialists also note that grapes can be kept in special houses for winter and spring, including in villages in the northern part of the Hisor Valley.
