BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Tajikistan has
commissioned a construction materials plant to support road
projects in its Sughd region.


This was reflected in a statement published by the press service
of the Tajik president on July 8 following his working visit to the
Bobojon Gafurov district.


"The enterprise has the capacity to produce up to 120 tons of
asphalt, 120 cubic meters of concrete, and 80 tons of sand and
crushed stone per hour," the presidential press service said.


According to the statement, the Sughdrokhsoz LLC facility is
equipped with modern technology and manufactures asphalt, concrete,
sand, and crushed stone for infrastructure projects.


The launch of the company led to the opening of 50 permanent
jobs. Its output will be used for the construction and
reconstruction of roads across cities and districts of the Sughd
region, the press service noted.







Meanwhile, accelerated industrialization has been Tajikistan's
fourth national development goal since 2018, when President Emomali
Rahmon identified the expansion of manufacturing as a strategic
priority. To support this objective, the country designated
2022-2026 as the "Years of Industrial Development," focusing on
import substitution, job creation, and higher value-added
production.


The policy has led to a steady increase in industrial output and
the number of manufacturing enterprises. According to the Agency on
Statistics under the President of Tajikistan, industrial production
increased by 20% year-on-year. Over the past five years, total
industrial output has nearly doubled, while more than 2,040
industrial enterprises and 74,000 jobs have been created
nationwide. In 2024 alone, 740 new industrial enterprises were
launched, generating around 20,000 jobs.


Sughd Region, where the Hajmis brick plant is located, remains
the country's largest industrial hub. In the first quarter of 2025,
it accounted for 60.8% of Tajikistan's total industrial production
and hosted 1,242 industrial enterprises, nearly one-third of all
manufacturing facilities operating in the country. The government
views further expansion of industries such as construction
materials, textiles, and food processing as key to reducing import
dependence and supporting long-term economic growth.
