March 25 in the Tajik city of Khujand celebrated a new holiday - Potato Day. Although the holiday is still more formal than national in nature, this year President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon personally attended the celebration in Sughd and Khujand.
At organized festive events, the president got acquainted with the achievements of residents of 18 cities and districts of the Sughd region, and also commissioned a number of national economy facilities that were built recently.
Also, as part of the holiday, a festival of honey and bread was held, in which beekeepers and bakers of the Sughd region took part.
