In Tajikistan, vegetable crops as of the end of August occupied about 33 thousand hectares, of which 26 thousand hectares were harvested, according to the country's Ministry of Agriculture.
The total harvest was approximately 914 thousand tons. Among the main crops: onions – 343 thousand tons, tomatoes – 166 thousand tons, cucumbers – 111 thousand tons, carrots – 121 thousand tons, other vegetables – 125 thousand tons.
For comparison, as of September 1, 2024, there were more vegetables: almost 40 thousand hectares were sown, more than 34 thousand hectares were harvested, and the total harvest was over 1.1 million tons. This year, the harvest of onions and tomatoes has decreased, and cucumbers have increased slightly.
The situation with potatoes is similar: in 2025, crops occupied about 36 thousand hectares, almost 14 thousand hectares were harvested, and the harvest amounted to about 252 thousand tons. Last year, the potato harvest was 280 thousand tons. At the same time, farmers received more potatoes from each hectare this year – 180 quintals against 169 quintals in 2024.
Experts explain that the total harvest has become smaller due to a reduction in acreage, but increasing yields shows that modern agricultural technologies and more efficient work on the land help to compensate for losses and get more products from a smaller area.
The government of Tajikistan predicts that by the end of 2025, the potato harvest should reach about 1.16 million tons, and vegetables – about 3.29 million tons. Among them, onions account for the largest volume – about 867 thousand tons.
The harvest continues. By the end of 2025, the total harvest should be 5-10% higher than in 2024.
