Today, a greenhouse belonging to the “Sodikov Ghulom” dehkan farm was officially opened in the Chilmekhrob mahalla of Shohmansur District, Dushanbe, with the participation of First Deputy Chairman of Dushanbe Bakhtiyor Sharifi, Deputy Chairman Rustam Faqerzoda, and Chairman of Shohmansur District Safar Mahmadsho Olimzoda.
The greenhouse was built on an area of one hectare, with construction completed in April 2026. It is equipped with 40 ventilation units, 200 water heating radiators, and a 40-ton water tank for the drip irrigation system. The equipment was imported from the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea. During the winter season, the greenhouse will be heated using locally produced coal.
In line with the constructive and forward-looking policy of the Founder of Peace and National Unity — Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, respected Emomali Rahmon, and the development initiatives of the Chairman of Dushanbe, respected Rustami Emomali, continuous measures are being implemented in the capital to develop agriculture, ensure the efficient use of land, and increase domestic agricultural production.
The construction and commissioning of greenhouses of this kind represent one of the practical examples of these initiatives. They make an important contribution to supplying the capital’s market with fresh domestic produce, creating new jobs, and making rational use of available resources and opportunities.
The greenhouse primarily grows tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers, with 21,000 plants planted across the one-hectare area. Crop cultivation is carried out twice a year. Cherry tomato varieties, including “Zamira,” “Harriet,” and “Pink Prince,” as well as cucumber varieties such as “Smart,” “Prime,” “Otello,” “Orzu,” and other local varieties are being cultivated.
During the first growing season of this year, tomato production yielded good results, with the harvest reaching 1,100 centners. Part of the produce was supplied to the domestic market of Dushanbe.
The second growing season for tomatoes, cucumbers, and bell peppers is currently underway, with harvesting expected to begin in September of this year.
One of the important areas of the greenhouse’s activities is the creation of new employment opportunities. Four permanent employees and 12 seasonal workers are currently engaged in production activities.
