Pakistan imports up to 400 trucks of onion and tomato daily from Afghanistan
Mohammad Sadiq, Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, said on Sunday his country imports 300 to 400 trucks of fresh tomatos and onions from Afghanistan on daily basis.
“Afghan farmers benefit significantly from this trade because they had a large production this year,” Sadiq said on Twitter.
According to Pakistan’s special representative for Afghanistan, in previous years, Pakistan used to export most of its vegetables to Afghanistan, but this year, Pakistan’s agricultural products have been destroyed due to floods.
He has emphasized that this is a mutual benefit between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and should be encouraged and promoted.
Afghanistan’s exports take place via the commercial points of Torkham, Gholam Khan and Spinboldak to Pakistan.
Meanwhile, with the increase in the export of these products to Pakistan, prices have increased in the Afghan markets.
