Tajikistan sells construction materials much more than buys

The largest share of exports is cement.

Tajikistan exports construction materials almost twice as much as imports them.

The Ministry of Industry notes that the growth in the export of building materials is ensured by the supply of Tajik cement to neighboring countries.

In January-July this year, these products were sold abroad in the amount of $ 41.3 million, which is 99.5% of the total export of building materials.

The republic imports mainly facing plates (for $ 11 million over seven months), as well as glass ($ 5 million), drywall ($ 1.6 million), etc.
