Herat Chamber of Commerce and Investment says the volume of exports has doubled in this province over the first six months of 1403 compared to last year.
The chamber officials said that over the first six months of 1403, they had exports worth $77 million and 882 thousand dollars.
During this period, more than 32,000 tons of agricultural, industrial products, medicinal plants and minerals have been sent to the world markets, the officials said.
However, this chamber added that the issue of exporting Herat’s fresh fruits is still not resolved.
Gardeners also expect that basic steps must be taken to send fresh fruits to world markets.
“We have many agricultural products, including cotton, saffron, asafetida, grapes, raisins, which fortunately have been marketed a lot this year, said Bashir Ahmad Bahaduri, chair of Herat’s Chamber of Agriculture.
“These items are also exported to countries like Türkiye, India, China, United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan and Iran,” he added.
