The cold store was built according to the instructions of the head of state Emomali Rahmon to welcome the 35th anniversary of state independence with the financing of the Somon Agro Sanoat company, and it has the ability to store up to 2 thousand tons of fruits and vegetables in good conditions.

The area inside the cold store will be more than 2,000 square meters in two stages, and more than 4,500 tons of fruits and vegetables will be placed in it.

The total area of the cold storage area is 5,200 square meters, and it is equipped with modern self-operated devices.

Modern equipment, imported from Turkiye and Italy, keeps the temperature inside the refrigerator from 5 degrees to 10 degrees. Such conditions allow fruits and vegetables to be kept fresh and of excellent quality.

With the commissioning of the first stage of this facility, more than 10 local residents were provided with well-paid jobs.

Now carrots, potatoes, apples, pomegranates, grapes, dates and other products are stored in the cold room.
