KABUL, Jul 27 (NNN-BNA) – Afghanistan exported 50 tonnes of fish feed from northern Balkh province to Tajikistan, for the first time, a move that underscores the country’s growing regional trade ambitions, it was reported, yesterday.
“The batch of fish feed was transported to the Tajik market, following quality assurance and standardised processing,” Hafiz Amir Mohammad Muttaqi, provincial head of the Industry and Commerce Department, was quoted as saying.
This is a significant step towards diversifying Afghanistan’s export portfolio, and expanding its presence in regional markets, said Muttaqi.
Earlier this month, a large consignment of washing products was exported from Balkh Province to the United Kingdom.
By facilitating private sector growth and enabling access to regional markets, the Afghan interim government has played a pivotal role in expanding exports, strengthening the national economy and enhancing the country’s trade footprint across borders.– NNN-BNA
