53-year-old Muhayyo continues to work and to run a business that is the main source of income for her family. Although her husband also works, he does not have a steady job, and for this reason, Muhayyo and her eldest son are in trade. Muhayyo herself processes the salted apricot pits at home, and then exports them abroad. It is hard work and time-consuming. First, the apricot pits are cracked, then slightly blanched in a special brine. After blanching, the pits are spread out in a thin layer in the sun to dry. The pits are ready for sale in a few hours. Muhayyo's eldest son sells a variety of vegetables in the central market, and this also goes into the family kitty. Since the price of apricot pits has now dropped and she wants to stock up for the future, Muhayyo decided to take out a small loan to expand her business.

В свои 53 года Мухайё продолжает трудиться и заниматься предпринимательством. Для нее это основной источник дохода семьи, так как ее муж тоже работает, но стабильного заработка не имеет. Поэтому Мухайё и ее старший сын торгуют. Сама Мухайё производит дома соленые косточки, которые затем отсылают для продажи за пределы Таджикистана. Технология производства соленых косточек трудоемкая и занимает много времени. Сначала абрикосовые косточки немного раскалывают, а затем варят в специальном соляном растворе. После варки косточки выкладывают тонким слоем на солнце и сушат. Через несколько часов косточки готовы к реализации.
Старший сын Мухайё на центральном рынке торгует различными овощами и это тоже складывается в общий семейный бюджет.
Мухайё решила получить небольшой займ на расширение своего бизнеса, так как сейчас цены на абрикосовые косточки упали и она хочет сделать небольшой запас для будущего.
