About the holding

Three decades in the market: control at every stage

Open cotton bolls and cottonseed

Zuhal is a holding company with several production and trading lines in FMCG and household chemicals.

We are one of the largest cottonseed processors in Tajikistan. Besides our own processing, we import unrefined oil and bring it to a finished product at our own plants.

A full “raw material to shelf” cycle lets us control quality and cost at every stage.
