For the second consecutive year, “Textillegprom” hosted textile and clothing companies from Tajikistan. This fair brought together several key elements including timing, location (Moscow), a large number of buyers and visitors, and a focus on the Russian and regional market, and it provided a platform for several product categories that the Tajik companies have to offer.
Mr. Saidmumin Kamolov, National Program Manager of the Trade Promotion Program in Tajikistan, considers “the exhibition as an excellent opportunity for Tajik textile and clothing companies to show and promote their products to a wide range of buyers – sales agents, primarily wholesalers and retailers – from Russia and other countries, to establish direct business contacts with potential clients and to diversify their orders.”
According to Mr. Kamolov, “this will increase opportunities for cooperation, but it will also present challenges due to the tough competition in the market.”
Textillegprom, also called the Federal Trade Fair for Textile and Light Industry Goods and Equipment, is held twice a year and serves as a meeting place for 2,500 participants, representing about 3,000 trade and industrial companies. The fair is visited by more than 34,000 specialists.
Mr. Abdullo Muhammadiyev, Deputy Chairman of the Light Industry Association of Tajikistan, says: “Russia is the main and most attractive market for Tajikistan’s textile export sector due to its size and volume, tight economic relationships, geographical closeness, relatively favorable market entry conditions and existing cultural links with Tajikistan.”
Textillegprom attracts exhibitions and buyers from all regions of the Russian Federation, giving a complete picture of the Russian market. Therefore, this fair is a good opportunity for Tajik exporters to research and better understand the Russian market requirements by looking at and contacting exhibitors and potential buyers from the entire Russia.
