According to the latest statistics from the UK Department of Trade, the bilateral trade volume between the UK and Afghanistan in the one-year period ending June 2024 reached \u00a370 million, marking a 16.7% decrease compared to the same period last year. This reduction corresponds to a \u00a314 million decline in trade volume between the two countries.<\/p>\n
UK exports to Afghanistan during this period amounted to \u00a357 million, representing an 18.6% decrease. Conversely, UK imports from Afghanistan fell by 7.1% to \u00a313 million. Major UK export goods include beverages, spices, dairy products, vehicles, and industrial machinery.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, Afghanistan’s exports to the UK are dominated by vegetables and fruits valued at \u00a31.7 million; clothing and textile fabrics also constitute significant export items.<\/p>\n
The report ranks Afghanistan 166th among the UK\u2019s trading partners, with a share of less than 0.1% of the UK’s total trade. The sharp decline in trade volume may indicate existing economic challenges and limitations in the trade relations between the two countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
