Tajikistan
2.6 Tajikistan Storage Assessment
Home

Storage facilities mostly constructed during the Soviet era are available throughout the country usually at defunct industrial sites and former wholesale bases. The exception is Dushanbe where almost all warehouse space is occupied and there has not yet been a push to build new warehouses. It can be difficult to find warehouses directly on railroad spurs. Storage facilities are all in private hands. CoES and the Red Crescent Society maintain their own stores in every district. The commercial stores are generally in good condition. The price of warehousing in Dushanbe (the biggest trade centre in the country) is significantly higher than in other cities and districts.

Commercial Storage 

Commercial storage sector is starting to receive investment as the importation of building materials, food and consumer goods increases.  Currently there is a shortage of commercial storage in Dushanbe so construction of new warehouses is likely.

Storage Used by Humanitarian Organizations 

Conditions for sharing of storage space depend on the season. Organizations such as WFP, FSD, MCI and AKAH have storage capacities and depending on the volume of the operation might be able to allocate some temporary space to other agencies requiring short term storage.

Public Sector Storage 

The State Materials Reserve (SMR) both has its own storage capacity and leases from the private sector silo and warehouse space for wheat, wheat flour and other food commodities. It also has storage of petrol and diesel. Most of the SMR storage sites have unused space. 

Cold Chain 

There are cold storages available that date from Soviet times. Some are still used for importation of frozen foods like fish and chicken by rail or truck. Cold storage chain to hold locally produced fruit for domestic distribution and export is somewhat lacking. In 2013 UNICEF provided funding for importation and installation of some refrigeration units to be used for vaccines by the Ministry of Health.
