Not roasted and not cooked groundnuts market in Tajikistan

Earlier Report Observations

The Tajik market for not roasted and not cooked groundnuts grew consistently from 12 009 t in 2018 to 13 499 t in 2021. This period of expansion was supported by the cultivation of peanuts as an oilseed crop and early government plans to establish specialized agro-economic zones for peanut development, aiming to enhance production infrastructure and output.

A sharp decline to 9 803 t occurred in 2022, primarily due to a substantial increase in exports. The market rebounded to 12 357 t in 2023 as export volumes normalized. That same year, authorities announced a target to raise domestic vegetable oil production by 20%, a strategy likely to strengthen demand for raw peanuts as a key feedstock for oil processing.

Throughout the period, the broader food industry evolved, illustrated by the 2018 launch of new domestically produced energy drinks, indicating potential downstream uses for agricultural commodities. Furthermore, rising prices for edible oils noted in early 2024 continued to shape the economic environment for oilseed crops like peanuts in Tajikistan.
