Afghanistan’s exports of commercial goods to Central Asian countries have surged by 77 percent in 2025.
According to official statistics, Afghanistan’s exports to the region totaled $122 million in 2024, rising sharply to $216 million in 2025.
At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of Afghanistan reported a 43 percent increase in the country’s imports last year compared to the previous year.
These figures reflect intensified efforts by the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan to diversify its trade markets, meet domestic needs, and promote the export of locally produced goods.
Following the suspension of trade with Islamabad, Afghanistan’s commerce with Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Turkmenistan has expanded significantly.
