Isfana is the center of Leilek District in western Batken Region, on the border with Tajikistan. The main crop here is apricots: they're picked, dried on rooftops and in yards, and sold fresh or dried, both pitted and whole (uryuk). HTI has a bucket for every step along the way, from 560 ml for the market stall to 21 L for wholesale buyers. Buckets travel to Isfana from our plant by freight carrier.
Isfana, Batken Region: buckets across the region
Apricots go through several stages on the farm, and each one needs its own packaging. The groups below run from the market stall to the orchard, and each size shows the job it does in Leilek District. Click to open the bucket's page with dimensions and photos.
Pitted and whole dried apricots and jam in shopper-size portions.

Halved apricots go from the tree up to the drying roof in a fifteen-liter bucket.
Fertilizer for young apricot trees: the lid keeps it dry until spring.
Dried apricots for a wholesale buyer: twenty-one liters under a lid, so nothing gets crushed during loading.

Isfana maternity ward: yellow body, a full day's waste, plastic handle.
Family medicine center: a week of appointments in one 18 L bucket under a tight lid.
Waste is collected from Isfana only every few weeks, so it builds up in a 21 L bucket with the lid closed.
Every bucket tapers toward the bottom, so the empties nest in a stack: a whole apricot season's supply takes up little room in the house. Each lid has an OPEN tear strip under the rim that comes off at first opening.
Ripe apricots don't keep for long, so the whole harvest passes through several hands in a short time. The table shows which bucket you need at each stage and how many of them fit on a pallet.
| Stage | Process | Volume | Per pallet | Learn more |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Picking | picking fruit off the tree | 11.5 L | 816 | farms |
| Sort by | sorting for drying and jam | 8 L | 840 | berry buckets |
| Drying | carrying fruit up to the roof | 15 L | 816 | large buckets |
| Cooking | jam and preserves | 2.3 L | 3,300 | jam and fruit butter |

During picking and drying, the bucket is a tool, so growers choose white ones with a bail handle and plastic grip. For selling, they go with a clear body: dried apricots and preserves sell themselves on color. Wholesale buyers care more about weight and the lid, while bazaar shoppers care about how the fruit looks.
In Leilek District, almost every household is tied to apricots. Farms differ in how they sell the harvest: fresh, dried, or cooked. That decides the bucket mix: a family drying apricots on the roof buys different sizes than one making jam for the bazaar.
The fruit is halved, spread out on a flat roof or in the yard, and dried in the sun. Carrying it up is easiest in 11.5 to 15 L buckets: the grip on the bail handle won't cut into your fingers, and the lid covers the fruit while the bucket waits by the ladder.
Wholesale buyers collect dried apricots in bulk. In lidded 5.6 to 21 L buckets, the fruit reaches Osh and Bishkek uncrushed and dust-free, and the empty buckets can go back into service for the next harvest.
Ripe fruit that won't be dried gets cooked into preserves and jam. Clear 2.3 L buckets work well for the bazaar, and 900 ml buckets with a molded-in handle for stores.
At the bazaar, pitted and whole dried apricots sell from clear 850 ml and 3 L buckets: shoppers see the fruit through the wall, and the lid keeps out dust and flies.
Choose a size and quantity, and the calculator shows the pallets. An example from Leilek District: a farm getting ready for the season orders 1,600 of the 11.5 L buckets for picking and drying, which comes to two pallets of 816. Add 2,500 clear 3 L buckets for the bazaar, and that's one more pallet.
HTI sells buckets direct from the factory in orders of one pallet and up. It's best to order before the season starts, while the orchard is still in bloom or just setting fruit.
Tell us how big a harvest you expect and how you sell your apricots. Our sales manager will help you break it down by size.
You'll get the number of buckets and pallets, the order price, and shipping terms to Isfana: your sales manager will confirm timing and cost with the freight carrier.
Buckets are packed at the HTI plant in the Bishkek Free Economic Zone (FEZ), Chuy Region. For in-mold labeling (IML) orders, the artwork is approved first.
A freight carrier brings the pallets to Isfana. You can also pick up the order yourself if your truck is heading south from Bishkek.
The HTI plant is in Chuy Region, in the Bishkek FEZ, Ak-Chiy village. It's our only shipping point: we have no warehouse in Isfana, Batken, or other towns in the south. A freight carrier takes the buckets to Leilek District, and your sales manager will tell you how long it takes and what it costs when you place the order.
Dried apricots often head north to be sold. If your truck is coming back empty from Bishkek, you can load it with pallets of buckets right at the plant.
Empty buckets come nested, so a season's order can be stored in a pantry or under a shed roof until the first harvest.
Buckets for picking and drying are needed first, and those for jam and dried apricot sales a little later. It's easiest to order everything at once so you're not waiting on a second truck at the height of the season.
The region and nearby towns with their own pages are linked.
Any bucket with a bail handle will do for the orchard and drying, but for selling, the version you choose matters a lot. A clear wall, a tamper-evident seal, and your farm's name help shoppers pick your product over the rest.
Shoppers see the color of the dried apricots through the wall and choose without opening the lid. Clear buckets come in every size.
For picking and carrying fruit up to the roof, growers use buckets of 8 L and up: the metal bail handle with plastic grip sits comfortably in your palm even when the bucket is full.
The seal under the rim is torn off at first opening. Wholesale buyers and bazaar shoppers can see the dried apricots haven't been repacked since filling.
A label or IML print with your farm's name makes your product recognizable. IML is fused into the wall during molding and stays on the bucket after washing.
