The press service said that in the following year, Russia will export:

Tajikistan is an agro-industrial country with a bright hydropower outlook and substantial mineral deposits. The Gazprom Group and Tajikistan have been partners since 2003 when a 25-year Strategic Cooperation Agreement (until 2028) was inked at the top level.
In 2013, Russia and Tajikistan signed an agreement on cooperation in the sphere of oil products supply that set out plans for Russia to export oil products to Tajikistan without the imposition of duties.
The agreement allows Dushanbe to import Russian oil products at a lower price, but the document prohibits the re-export of Russian oil to other countries. According to the Russian Finance Ministry, the export duty for Russia's crude oil amounts to $42 per tonne, with the oil price set at $343.4 per tonne.
