The enterprise was established in the Shohmansur district of Dushanbe at the initiative of entrepreneur Fathullo Sohibov, with the aim of supporting private entrepreneurship. The facility produces beverages and confectionery products.

The enterprise has three production lines. The first two manufacture drinking water and other beverages, while the third is dedicated to confectionery production.

During a tour of the facility, President Emomali Rahmon was informed that the production machinery and equipment had been imported from abroad and included modern, energy-efficient technologies.

According to the project specifications, the first two production lines have a combined capacity of 400,000 containers per day. Drinking water and beverages are packaged in containers ranging in volume from 500 milliliters to 10 liters and marketed under the Shahdob brand.

The products are made in a variety of flavors using fruits, vegetables, and aromatic herbs. In total, the enterprise produces nearly 50 varieties of beverages, offering consumers a diverse selection with appealing taste and quality.

Product quality and safety are tested in the enterprise’s laboratory using modern equipment. These procedures are carried out by experienced specialists with a high level of professional expertise.

The third production line is designed for manufacturing confectionery products. Its daily production capacity exceeds three tonnes. The products are manufactured in 15 varieties under the Shirinihoi Shukrona (Shukrona Sweets) brand and supplied to consumer markets.

The launch of Shahdob has also created favorable employment opportunities for local residents. The enterprise has provided permanent jobs for 120 people, contributing to improved living standards in the community.

To ensure more efficient use of electricity, solar panels have been installed on the roofs of the production buildings. The solar power system has a designed capacity of 150 kilowatts and is expected to reduce electricity consumption by up to 10 percent.

President Emomali Rahmon emphasized the importance of entrepreneur Fathullo Sohibov’s contribution to the development of domestic manufacturing and the implementation of the country’s fourth national strategic goal — accelerated industrialization.

It was noted that the launch of enterprises of this kind contributes to the creation of new jobs, increased domestic production, a reliable supply of the domestic market, and the strengthening of the country’s industrial capacity, thereby laying a solid foundation for sustainable national economic development.

According to entrepreneur Fathullo Sohibov’s plans, a new industrial facility will be constructed adjacent to the existing enterprise. The new plant will cover an area of 1.2 hectares and produce 23 varieties of confectionery products. Once operational, it is expected to provide permanent employment for approximately 120 additional people.

The planned facility will have a daily production capacity of 30 tonnes, and construction is scheduled to take one year.
