Officials at Afghanistan National Standards Authority (ANSA) said during their annual accountability report on Saturday that over the past year, more than 100,000 loads of fuel in tankers have been assessed, of which 2,000 tankers carrying low-quality fuel have been turned back.
Faizullah Tamim, acting head of ANSA, said at the meeting that the revenue of this authority has increased substantially compared to last year and now totals over 2.2 billion AFN.
At the meeting, Tamim meanwhile asked all Afghan businessmen to ensure they do not import or produce poor-quality products.
Despite the department enforcing quality control regulations on imported goods at ports, low-quality goods are still entering the country and are being sold on local markets.
