\"Tajikistan
Tajikistan flag (Wikipedia)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A landlocked, mountainous nation in Central Asia, the Republic of Tajikistan shipped US$2.1 billion worth of exported products around the world in 2025.<\/p>\n

That calculated dollar amount results from a 16.1% increase compared to $1.8 billion 5 years earlier in 2021.<\/p>\n

Year over year, revenues from Tajikistani exports grew by 7.8% starting from $1.9 billion for 2024.<\/p>\n

Based on the average exchange rate for 2025, the Tajikistani somoni depreciated by -21.9% against the US dollar since 2021 and diluted by -18.1% from 2024 to 2025. Tajikistan\u2019s weaker local currency makes its exports paid for in stronger US dollars modestly less expensive for international buyers starting from American currency.<\/p>\n

Tajikistan\u2019s most valuable exported products were unwrought gold, metalloid element antimony then precious metal ores and concentrates. Those three commodities represent almost two-thirds (65.7%) of overall exports sold by Tajikistan.<\/b><\/p>\n

Given Tajikistan\u2019s population of 10.4 million people, its total US$2.1 billion in 2025 exports translates to roughly $200 for every resident in the Central Asian country. That per-capita metric exceeds the average $190 for 2024.<\/p>\n

The following export product groups represent the highest dollar value in Tajikistani global shipments during 2025. Also shown is the percentage share each export category represents in terms of overall exports from Tajikistan.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Gems, precious metals: US$713 million (34.4% of total exports)<\/li>\n
  2. Ores, slag, ash: $548.2 million (26.4%)<\/li>\n
  3. Other base metals: $373.9 million (18%)<\/li>\n
  4. Aluminum: $202.4 million (9.8%)<\/li>\n
  5. Fruits, nuts: $59.2 million (2.9%)<\/li>\n
  6. Copper: $48.8 million (2.4%)<\/li>\n
  7. Mineral fuels including oil: $30.8 million (1.5%)<\/li>\n
  8. Clothing, accessories (not knit or crochet): $16.3 million (0.8%)<\/li>\n
  9. Cotton: $16.2 million (0.8%)<\/li>\n
  10. Beverages, spirits, vinegar: $12.6 million (0.6%)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tajikistan\u2019s top 10 export product categories generated 97.4% of the overall value of Tajikistani global shipments.<\/p>\n

    Gems, precious metals represent the fastest grower among the top 10 export categories, up by 105.4% from 2024 to 2025.<\/p>\n

    In second place for improving export sales were miscellaneous base metals which was up by 44%.<\/p>\n

    Tajikistan\u2019s shipments of fruits and nuts posted the third-fastest gain in value, up by 31.3% year over year.<\/p>\n

    The leading decliner among Tajikistan\u2019s top 10 export categories was cotton which fell -92.3%<\/p>\n

    At the more granular four-digit Harmonized Tariff System code level, unwrought gold represents Tajikistan\u2019s most valuable exported product (33.9% of the Tajikistani total). In second place was the metalloid element antimony (18%) trailed by precious metal ores and concentrates (13.7%), lead ores and concentrates (10.2%), unwrought aluminum (9.6%), zinc ores and concentrates (2.2%), refined copper plus unwrought alloys (2.2%), dried fruit (also 2.2%), coal including solid fuels made from coal (1.4%), then non-alcoholic drinks excluding water, juice and milk (0.6%).<\/b><\/p>\n

    Tajikistan\u2019s Major Trading Partners<\/h2>\n

    The latest available country-specific data from 2024 shows that 96.3% of products exported from Tajikistan was bought by importers in: mainland China (21.4% of the Tajikistani total), Switzerland (19.6%), T\u00fcrkiye (12.4%), Kazakhstan (10.3%), Uzbekistan (7.4%), Iran (6%), Netherlands (5.7%), Afghanistan (5.6%), Russia (5%), United Arab Emirates (1.3%), Pakistan (0.9%) and United States of America (0.8%).<\/p>\n

    From a continental perspective, 66.5% of Tajikistan exports by value was delivered to Asian countries while 32.3% was sold to fellow European importers.<\/p>\n

    Tinier percentages went to the United States in North America (0.8%), Latin America\u2019s British Virgin Islands (0.4%), then Africa (0.02%) led by South Africa.<\/p>\n

    Products Creating Trading Surpluses for Tajikistan<\/h2>\n

    The following types of Tajikistani product shipments represent positive net exports or a trade balance surplus. Investopedia defines net exports as the value of a country\u2019s total exports minus the value of its total imports.<\/p>\n

    In a nutshell, net exports represent the amount by which foreign spending on a home country\u2019s goods or services exceeds or lags the home country\u2019s spending on foreign goods or services.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Gems, precious metals: US$615.3 million (Reversing a -$5.5 million deficit)<\/li>\n
    2. Ores, slag, ash: $548.2 million (Up by 18% since 2024)<\/li>\n
    3. Other base metals: $373.6 million (Up by 44.3%)<\/li>\n
    4. Aluminum: $169.2 million (Up by 1.5%)<\/li>\n
    5. Copper: $46.9 million (Down by -10.3%)<\/li>\n
    6. Fruits, nuts: $38.1 million (Reversing a -$24.7 million deficit)<\/li>\n
    7. Cotton: $12 million (Down by -94.2%)<\/li>\n
    8. Lead: $7.8 million (Up by 3561%)<\/li>\n
    9. Raw hides, skins not furskins, leather: $7.4 million (Up by 41.9%)<\/li>\n
    10. Beverages, spirits, vinegar: $3.2 million (Reversing a -$61.5 million deficit)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Tajikistan earned highly positive net exports in the international trade of gold and, to a much lesser extent, silver. In turn, these cashflows is a leading factor in Tajikistan\u2019s strong competitive advantages under the gems and precious metals product category.<\/p>\n

      Products Causing Trading Deficits for Tajikistan<\/h2>\n

      Overall, Tajikistan incurred a -US$4.3 billion product trade deficit for 2025 down by -12.9% from -$4.9 billion in red ink one year earlier in 2024.<\/b><\/p>\n

      Below are exports from Tajikistan that result in negative net exports or product trade balance deficits. These negative net exports reveal product categories where foreign spending on home country Tajikistan\u2019s goods trail Tajikistani importer spending on foreign products.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Vehicles: -US$1.1 billion (Up by 41.5% since 2024)<\/li>\n
      2. Machinery including computers: -$847.4 million (Up by 64.8%)<\/li>\n
      3. Electrical machinery, equipment: -$507.9 million (Up by 92.5%)<\/li>\n
      4. Cereals: -$319.6 million (Up by 0.1%)<\/li>\n
      5. Iron, steel: -$254.4 million (Down by -38.6%)<\/li>\n
      6. Knit or crochet clothing, accessories: -$232.6 million (Reversing a $17.7 million surplus)<\/li>\n
      7. Articles of iron or steel: -$228 million (Up by 60.9%)<\/li>\n
      8. Plastics, plastic articles: -$196.8 million (Up by 0.7%)<\/li>\n
      9. Footwear: -$183.9 million (Up by 1169.4%)<\/li>\n
      10. Clothing, accessories (not knit or crochet): -$171.6 million (Up by 5,241%)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Tajikistan has highly negative net exports and therefore deep international trade deficits particularly for refined petroleum oils and petroleum gas under the mineral fuels-related products category.<\/p>\n
