Nooruddin Azizi, the Minister of Industry and Commerce, announced in a recent meeting that the country is receiving hundreds of containers of essential goods each day, with no obstacles hindering the import of goods, particularly raw materials.
During his meeting with Shirin Agha Sakhi, Chairman of the Board of the Chamber of Craftsmen and Shopkeepers, and other leaders from trade guilds in Kabul, Azizi discussed the market situation and the prices of raw materials.
He characterized the current challenges as temporary hurdles that could ultimately lead to long-term economic opportunities. “Without enduring difficulties, economic self-sufficiency cannot be achieved,” he emphasized.
Minister Azizi reiterated that the importation of goods, especially raw materials, is unhindered, ensuring a steady supply of essential commodities.
In response, the heads of trade guilds committed to maintaining a stable market by cooperating to control raw material prices. They agreed to take strict actions against price gouging and the hoarding of essential goods, aiming to protect consumers and promote fair trading practices.
