Functions. The population is the primary grower. As mentioned earlier, the majorities of<br />
grapes are consumed fresh, at the local or export markets as early varieties. However,<br />
farming households, population and collective farms dry some of the grapes into raisins.<br />
Raisins are sold either individually or as part of compote mix for export to the Russian<br />
Federation and to other CIS countries. Another part of grapes produced is shipped at<br />
reduced prices to wineries. Wineries sell their products independently or through<br />
mediators to the local markets and for export. Raisins are collected at the wholesale<br />
markets through a network of buyers, and then purchased for export purposes. It is<br />
interesting that raisins, as well as dried apricots, are purchased by ethnic Tajiks,<br />
