Since the initiative's launch, the country has achieved a number of significant results, including the establishment of a Joint Steering Committee, the development of a roadmap identifying 100 priority products, the launch of a production center in Bokhtar, regular national events, and active collaboration with more than 20 small businesses in 11 cities, which has provided employment to over 100 people and the production of over 100 types of products, including the development and production of 22 new products with the support of international experts.
Achieving such results demonstrates that Tajikistan has favorable resources and opportunities for the successful implementation and further expansion of the "One Village - One Product" initiative, which contributes to the sustainable development of both the local and national economies.
