The physical volume of tomato supplies from Turkmenistan increased by 99 percent from January through July of this year, compared to the same period in 2019, Trend reports with reference to the Business Turkmenistan information portal.

So, in the reporting period, more than 29,000 tons of tomatoes were sent abroad. Meanwhile, Russia was the main importer of Turkmen tomatoes.
