According to a recent newspaper report, the “Ruhubelent” company, a closed joint-stock operator of the food-industry department of the Ministry of Agriculture and Environmental Protection of Turkmenistan, started processing fruit and vegetables at the end of July.
Ruhubelent is the largest state-owned company in the country. It was founded in 2011 and specializes in the production of ketchup and tomato paste. It has its own areas for growing tomatoes and also handles the crops of a number of growers in the Dashoguz, Akhal and Mary “velayats” (three of the five provinces that make up Turkmenistan). The harvest is currently almost finished, and the processing of the crop is ongoing. Deliveries of raw materials will resume in the fall and continue until October, when the autumn arrival of tomatoes from Dashoguz growers is expected.

The production capacity of the plant allows several hundred tonnes of tomatoes to be processed every day. In addition to processing tomato paste, “Ruhubelent” also produces juices in bottles with a capacity of 500 and 700 ml, as well as marinades. Customers have long been familiar with the company brand "Galkynysh", while last year, a new one was launched – "Rowana" – along with the launch of three new types of natural juices and a drink made from rosehips. The company also produces natural assorted fruit compotes under the "Ulker" and "Diyar" brands from plums, apples and apricots, manufactured from fruit grown by local farmers in an environmentally friendly manner.
