Supply chain
Every figure the sources give for this country, its trade partners per material, and where its sites are.
Production, refining and reserves
The latest year of each series. Share is of the series total: the larger of the source world total and the sum of its rows. Rank counts only the countries that have a number in that series.

Mines and plants listed without coordinates · 4
The USGS Minerals Yearbook names these operations in Tajikistan with company, place and annual capacity, but gives no coordinates, so they are not on the map. Capacity is not production. Each row is from the chapter year shown.

Trade partners
3 recorded flows, 2024
- Recorded trade flow; a thicker line is a larger value
- Tajikistan
Lines join the middle of each country. They are not shipping routes.
| Partner | Material | Year | Value, US$ | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Export toFrance | AntimonyRefine | 2024 | $111M | |

| Export toChina | AntimonyMine | 2024 | $19M |
Reconciled customs data (CEPII BACI), by value. The data holds only the largest flows of each material, so this is not the country’s full trade.

Money
What the trade data and the World Bank record in money terms. Every value is a reported figure with its own year.
All recorded trade flows of 2024 under the customs codes that isolate one of the ten materials, by value (CEPII BACI, reconciled estimates, current US dollars). Codes that mix several materials are left out, so trade in those materials is understated; gallium and germanium have no usable code at all. Each material lists its five largest partners.

Investment pipeline
announced figuresPlanned and under-construction projects in Tajikistan with a publicly announced capital cost, public financial backing, or both. Each line is one statement by the named publisher on the given date; the atlas adds nothing to it.
No data yet. The atlas has read no announcement of this kind for a project in Tajikistan. The list is short and hand-read; a missing project is missing from the list, not from the world.
A short, hand-read list, not a census: 19 projects in all. Announced amounts are not spending, a letter of interest or a conditional commitment is not a loan, and amounts stay in the currency of the announcement.
Public support instruments
Stockpiles, price floors, offtake and purchasing programmes and public funds of Tajikistan's government, as dated policy events of the type "public support". Each is one statement by its publisher.
No data yet. The atlas has read no public support instrument of Tajikistan's government. The list is short and hand-read.
These figures are informational, not financial advice.
Sustainability
Four indicators, the same on every profile. Each is a figure with its unit, year and source, or a plain statement that there is none.
Carbon
Emissions intensity of the country's electricity grid.
73gCO2e/kWh
Higher than 9% of the other 208 countries with a grid figure.
- It describes the national grid, not mining or refining. Sites may run on their own power.
Water
Share of the country's mine sites on record that lie in high or extremely high baseline water stress.
No mine or brine site with a water-stress class is on record in this country.
- Counted by site, not by tonnage: it is not a share of production.
- "Arid and Low Water Use" is a class of its own in the source and is not counted as high.
Land
Land visibly used by mining in the country, every commodity together.
34km²
Higher than 42% of the other 143 countries with a mapped mining area.
- Rank 84 of 144 countries by area.
- Mapped from satellite images for all mining in a country. It cannot be attributed to one material or one site.
Circularity
Recycling's share of demand.
Not available per country: recycling rates in the atlas are published per material, for the EU as a whole.
There is no overall score: the four figures measure different things and are not added up. How to read these figures
Risks & policy
Export controls in force
Compiled by USGS, effective January 2026. Not a live feed.
USGS Table 4 lists no export control by this country for the materials in the atlas.
Chokepoints at sea
The atlas has no record of which minerals pass through which sea passage, so no chokepoint figure is attached to this profile. Current ship counts for the main passages are on the Live page. Open the Live page
Gaps
What the atlas is missing for Tajikistan
Computed from the data. Each line names a record that exists and one that does not. It marks missing data, not missing industry.
- Listed as a antimony producer (20% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no mine is on record.
- A antimony producer (20% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no site record names an owner or operator.
- Trade is partial by design: the atlas holds only each material's largest flows. 3 of them name this country.

The mining-area figure comes from a share-alike source (CC-BY-SA-4.0). It is kept in its own file under that licence, apart from the rest of the atlas's data.
History & talk
Revision history and discussion are coming soon.
Every change to a figure will be listed here with its source, its credit and its review, and each profile will have a place to discuss it. Until then the data changes only when a source is updated, and every figure links to that source.
What we don't know yet
No open source we may use gives these figures. Nothing is estimated to fill them. If you know a public source, add it.
