The President of the country Emomali Rahmon highly appreciated the efforts of gardeners to build a cold storage, prevent product loss and supply the market with fruits and vegetables in all seasons of the year, and tasked the officials to increase the amount of agricultural products by using the available opportunities and capacities.

It was reported that the construction works on this facility started in August of this year, and more than 2 million somoni were spent on its construction and equipment.

At the same time, the products produced by the farmers are stored in cold storage, and in case of increased demand, they are exported to other countries.

In the future, the capacity of cold stores of the «Vahdat» National Park will be increased to 4,000 tons, and the construction of modern fruit processing and canning factories is planned.
