export totaling 628 tonnes. Tajik lemons are highly demanded in Bishkek and Alma-Ata, a result of the Soviet era but there are some problems related to irregularities of delivery lately. During off-season in <strong>Tajikistan</strong> available lemons come from Spain and Argentina. There is a big difference between them regarding taste and the thickness of the peel. Lemons from Argentina and Spain are calibrated, cleaned, have stickers, labeled boxes. Tajik lemons have different sizes and are just collected in boxes. Retailers sort them. Functions of value chain players. The production volume of lemons can be increased and the price from farmers can be decreased by improvement of nursery stock and inputs (quality seeds, quality and quantity of fertilizers, sufficient volume of water) and improvement of pest and disease control. However, lemon production is not the main activity of households’ therefore encouraging investment will be difficult. Farmers, procurers, exporters and retail sellers are the links of the chain. Marketing channels have direct lines between farmers and exporters, farmers-suppliersexporters, farmers-wholesalers-traders or farmers-suppliers-wholesalers-traders. (See the diagram below) • Producers are represented by large number of farming households, concentrated in areas of cultivation. The number of producers is increasing because of breaking up of large farms into the smaller units. The number of new investments in lemon greenhouses is increasing as lemons gain popularity as an alternative source of income. • Exporters are entrepreneurs who have contacts in the exporting markets. The number of exporters is stable. • Importers are physical persons from bordering countries who buy lemons from exporters and wholesalers. • Suppliers and traders are farmers and wholesalers who store lemons and sell them in the most profitable season. • Retailers are those who have sales outlets to sell the lemons and buy them from suppliers and wholesalers. Their numbers are stable. 82

Lemon Production • Financing through long-term loans for greenhouse construction, storehouse building, packing direction support and lemon calibration is also an important condition for the value chain development of lemons. • Financing schemes which allow the supply and distribution of fertilizers and pesticides. That could be done on collaboration with farmers and input dealers. Designing a special loan product: The proposed lending scheme includes opening a credit facility for the shops related to farmer groups. Manufacturers receive goods from the shop, while the shop presents the purchase agreement and issue order to the bank for obtaining the funds. The loan will be registered to the client for whom the credit line has been opened. Loan payment could be scheduled for period as the crops are being sold. • Financing by working capital agricultural input shops, which will offer Seeds (include nursery, seeds for onions and melons, tomato and cucumber); Certified fertilizers; Certified chemicals for plant protection; Diesel fuel; Supplying greenhouse films for multiple year usage. 83
