Industrial factories in Herat province are currently producing approximately 4,000 tonnes of steel rebar per day, meeting a significant share of the country’s domestic demand.
Abdul Naser Amin, head of the Herat Chamber of Industries and Mines, told Bakhtar News Agency that more than 30 industrial companies are engaged in iron production and processing in the province, supplying a considerable portion of the domestic market.
In addition to steel rebar, the factories manufacture other iron and steel products, including beams, billets and metal pipes, which are widely used in construction and various industrial sectors.
Amin said the expansion of iron production facilities and increased domestic manufacturing capacity had enabled Herat to achieve self-sufficiency in meeting market demand for iron products.
Local industrialists, meanwhile, stressed that greater support for domestic production, improved investment opportunities and the development of markets for locally manufactured products could further boost industrial growth and create employment opportunities.
In recent years, products manufactured by domestic factories mainly iron and steel products from Herat have been increasingly used in the country’s infrastructure, construction and development projects.
