Tajikistan and Azerbaijan plan to discuss increase in the volume of transit of Tajik aluminum through Azerbaijan and the supply of aluminum oxide from Azerbaijan to Tajikistan.
This issue will become one of discussion topics during the visit of the President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon to Baku on August 10-11.
Next year growth in aluminum prices on global markets will be significant and in this regard Tajikistan plans to bring the production of this metal to 245,500 tons in 2019. Tajikistan produced only 46,700 tons of aluminum in H1, which equaled to $99.5 million. In connection with this, one of the main topics of the forthcoming talks in Baku will undoubtedly be increase in the volume of transit of Tajik aluminum through Azerbaijan and the supply of aluminum oxide from Azerbaijan to Tajikistan.
TALCO SUE products account for the major part of goods turnover between Tajikistan and Azerbaijan. Tajikistan buys aluminum oxide, coke and other raw materials from Azerbaijan. (Trend/Ukrainian metal)
