🇷🇺🤝🇹🇯 Representatives of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Tajikistan joined WFP for a field visit to school feeding programme sites in Yovon District, Khatlon Region.

🍞 The visit began at the central bakery in Yovon, where fresh bread is baked daily and delivered to schools supported by the programme. Delegates then visited School No. 80, School No. 45, and School No. 35, observing how the school feeding programme funded by the Russian Federation and implemented by WFP strengthens school feeding, improves nutrition, and supports learning environments for children. Renovated and re-equipped school canteens, daily meals, and government-supported initiatives all highlight the impact of strong partnerships.

🌍 School Feeding is WFP’s largest programme in Tajikistan, reflecting a decade long commitment to children and families. Since 1999, WFP and the Government have partnered to provide daily fresh meals to around 440,000 schoolchildren in 2,000 schools across 52 districts, alongside renovated canteens, bakeries, and greenhouses that strengthen the programme’s impact.

🇷🇺🤝🇹🇯 Представители Посольства Российской Федерации в Таджикистане вместе с ВПП совершили полевой визит на объекты Программы школьного питания в Ёвонском районе Хатлонской области.

🍞 Визит начался с центральной пекарни в Ёвоне, где ежедневно выпекается свежий хлеб и доставляется в школы, участвующие в программе. Делегация также посетила школу №80, школу №45 и школу №35, где они увидели, как Программа школьного питания, финансируемая Российской Федерацией и реализуемая ВПП, укрепляет систему питания, улучшает качество питания и поддерживает образовательную среду для детей. Отремонтированные и переоборудованные столовые, ежедневные горячие обеды и инициативы, поддерживаемые правительством, демонстрируют значимость прочного партнёрства.

🌍 Программа школьного питания — крупнейшая инициатива ВПП в Таджикистане, отражающая многолетнюю приверженность детям и их семьям. С 1999 года ВПП совместно с Правительством реализует школьное питание в стране, и сегодня около 440 000 школьников в 2 000 школах по 52 районам и городам получают ежедневные свежие обеды.

🏔️ From Fortification to Better Nutrition in GBAO

Representatives of WFP and the Agency on State Material Reserves under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan visited the Shughnon flour mill of the State Enterprise Zakhirai Ghalla in GBAO to observe the fortification process and celebrate the progress achieved through our partnership.

Since 2025, WFP has supported the installation of modern fortification equipment at state-owned mills and, in 2026, supplied laboratory equipment, reagents and premix to strengthen quality assurance and production capacity. These investments enabled the Khorog mill to officially launch fortified flour production in July 2026.

The results are already visible: the mill has produced around 800 MT of fortified flour, which is being distributed through shops and markets across GBAO, including remote districts such as Rushon, Murghob, Ishkashim and Bartang.

With 2.5 MT of premix provided by WFP through the generous support of dsm-firmenich, millers can fortify approximately 12,000 MT of wheat flour, helping improve access to essential vitamins and minerals for communities across GBAO, Khatlon and Sughd.

Fortified flour and bakery products from the mill are reaching households, schools and kindergartens, contributing to the prevention of anemia, iodine deficiency and childhood stunting, particularly in hard-to-reach mountain areas. By improving the nutritional quality of a staple food consumed every day, this initiative is helping build healthier communities and brighter futures for children and women.

This achievement demonstrates the power of partnership among WFP, dsm-firmenich, government institutions and local millers.

Together, we are supporting the implementation of Tajikistan’s Law on Food Fortification and advancing food security and nutrition for communities across the country.

🏔️ Аз ғанисозӣ то ғизои беҳтар дар ВМКБ

Намояндагони Барномаи озуқавории ҷаҳонии СММ (БОҶ) ва Агентии захираҳои моддии давлатии назди Ҳукумати Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон аз Корхонаи фаръии "Ордбарорӣ"'-и ноҳияи Шуғнон боздид намуда, бо раванди ғанисозии орд шинос шуданд. Ҷонибҳо натиҷаҳои бадастомадаро мавриди таҳлилу баррасӣ қарор дода, аз дастоварҳои ҳамкории муштарак истиқбол намуданд.

Аз соли 2025 инҷониб, БОҶ насби таҷҳизоти муосири ғанисозии ордро дар корхонаҳои ордбарории давлатӣ дастгирӣ намуда, дар соли 2026 барои таҳкими назорати сифат ва иқтидори истеҳсолӣ таҷҳизоти озмоишгоҳӣ, реагентҳо ва маводи премикс таъмин кард. Ин сармоягузориҳо имкон доданд, ки Корхонаи фаръии "Ордбарорӣ"'-и ноҳияи Шуғнон моҳи июли соли 2026 истеҳсоли расмии орди ғанигардонидашударо оғоз намояд.

Натиҷаҳо аллакай назаррасанд. Корхона тақрибан 800 тонна орди ғанигардонидашуда истеҳсол кардааст, ки тавассути мағозаҳо ва бозорҳои тамоми ВМКБ, аз ҷумла дар ноҳияҳои дурдасти Рӯшон, Мурғоб, Ишкошим ва водии Бартанг расонида мешавад.

Бо 2,5 тонна премиксе, ки аз ҷониби БОҶ бо дастгирии саховатмандонаи dsm-firmenich таъмин гардид, корхонаҳои истеҳсоли орд метавонанд тақрибан 12, 000 тонна орди гандумро ғанӣ гардонанд. Ин ба беҳтар шудани дастрасии аҳолӣ ба витаминҳо ва минералҳои муҳим дар ВМКБ, Хатлон ва Суғд мусоидат мекунад.

Орди ғанигардонидашуда ва маҳсулоти нонӣ, ки дар корхона истеҳсол мешаванд, ба хонаводаҳо, муассисаҳои таълимӣ ва кӯдакистонҳо дастрас мегардад. Он ба пешгирии камхунӣ, норасоии йод ва қадпастии кӯдакон, махсусан дар минтақаҳои кӯҳистонии дастнорас, замина мегузорад. Бо беҳтар намудани арзиши ғизоии яке аз маҳсулоти асосии рӯзмара, ин ташаббус ба бунёди ҷомеаҳои солимтар ва ояндаи дурахшони кӯдакону занон мусоидат мекунад.

Ин дастовард аз ҳамкории самараноки БОҶ, dsm-firmenich, муассисаҳои давлатӣ ва корхонаҳои истеҳсоли орд гувоҳӣ медиҳад.

Якҷо мо татбиқи Қонуни Ҷумҳурии Тоҷикистон «Дар бораи ғанисозии маҳсулоти хӯрокворӣ»-ро дастгирӣ намуда, ба таҳкими амнияти озуқаворӣ ва беҳтар намудани ғизои аҳолӣ дар саросари мамлакат саҳм мегузорем.

Have you ever wondered how many beloved Tajik dishes begin with just one simple ingredient — flour?

From mantu and sambusa to qurutob, ugro, tushbera shurbo and honum, dough is at the heart of many dishes found on Tajik family tables. 🥟🍲 Each one carries a taste of tradition, recipes, skills, and memories passed from one generation to the next. But flour can offer more than a starting point for our favorite dishes. When fortified with essential vitamins and minerals, it can also contribute to better nutrition. 💪WFP supports wheat flour fortification in Tajikistan, helping make everyday foods more nutritious, without changing the taste, recipes or traditions people love. Because food is not only about what we eat. It is also about the health and future of the generations who come after us. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

From flour to the family table and from tradition to better nutrition.🌾

Every bread tells a story! 🍞

But do you know how many varieties of traditional Tajik non there are? Could you name them all? 👀

In Tajikistan, bread is much more than a staple food. It is a symbol of hospitality, tradition, culture, and everyday life.

From kulcha and fatir to chapoti, kokfatir, and girdacha, each type of bread has its own unique shape, texture, and place on the table.

But bread is also part of a bigger story: the story of nutrition.

Because flour is consumed every day, fortifying it with essential vitamins and minerals is an effective way to improve diets and help people access important micronutrients through foods they already eat and enjoy.

Through its support for wheat flour fortification, WFP is helping to improve nutrition and build healthier communities across Tajikistan.

👉 Swipe through to discover some of the traditional breads that bring Tajik tables, families, and traditions to life.

More than bread. A taste of Tajik tradition.
