Abdulmomin, a Tajik factory owner, told NIPNA that his company relies
heavily on Iranian raw materials and recycled products. “Iran’s capabilities
and the variety of its products make it very popular in Tajikistan,” he said,
noting that Iranian petrochemicals are globally competitive and technologically
up-to-date.
The delegation met with Iranian producers to explore collaboration and
discuss export mechanisms. Over the past three years, Iran’s exports to
Tajikistan have grown more than 50 percent, covering petrochemicals,
agricultural goods, and industrial products.
Delegation members also emphasized the role of shared language and
culture in facilitating trade. “Persian is one of Tajikistan’s official
languages, which eases commercial negotiations. Cultural affinities further
help Iranian products gain acceptance among local manufacturers,” a member of
the delegation said.
With Tajikistan on a trajectory of economic growth, the delegation
expressed optimism that enhanced trade relations with Iran could meet rising
domestic demand. Despite some challenges, officials noted that these hurdles
are not expected to impede continued commercial cooperation.
