Iran–Tajikistan Agricultural Export Growth via Abrisham Road
Developing Iran’s Agricultural and Food Exports to Tajikistan
In recent years, trade relations between Iran and Tajikistan have entered a new phase of growth and cooperation. Their shared language, culture, and geographical proximity have created favorable conditions for expanding Iran’s exports — particularly in the field of agricultural and food products. In this context, the Abrisham Road International Platform, recognized as Iran’s first B2B export platform, has played a vital role in facilitating, organizing, and strengthening bilateral trade between the two nations.
Overview of Iran–Tajikistan Trade
Non-oil trade between Iran and Tajikistan has grown significantly in recent years. Iran exports a diverse range of products — including dried fruits, nuts, fresh produce, flour, dates, tomato paste, vegetable oils, and dairy products — that have established a strong position in Tajikistan’s import market.

The Role of the Abrisham Road International Platform
The Abrisham Road International Platform, as Iran’s first B2B export system, plays a pivotal role in accelerating and facilitating export operations. By creating a direct connection between Iranian producers and Tajik importers, the platform modernizes the traditional export structure and opens new trade channels across Central Asia.
Key Roles and Advantages

Impact on Export Growth
Since the expansion of the Abrisham Road Platform, many Iranian manufacturers and suppliers have been able to introduce their products directly to the Tajik market. The platform not only simplifies export procedures but also enhances international trust in Iranian brands and supports sustainable non-oil trade growth.
By focusing on high-demand goods — such as dried fruits, flour, tomato paste, vegetable oil, and dates — the platform has opened a new digital trade corridor between Iran and Central Asia.
Conclusion
The Abrisham Road International Platform serves as a digital gateway for Iran’s international trade and plays an essential role in expanding the export of agricultural and food products to Tajikistan. Through its powerful B2B network, market data services, and logistical support, the platform has successfully transformed Iran’s traditional export model into a modern, technology-driven B2B system. With continued innovation and investment in digital trade infrastructure, Iran is positioned to become a key supplier of agricultural and food commodities across Central Asia.
