Afghanistan’s Chamber of Commerce and Investment announced today that, for the first time, potatoes produced in Bamyan province have been exported to Uzbekistan. This initiative follows a pilot potato cultivation project in Bamyan and was carried out through joint cooperation between the chambers of commerce of both countries.<\/p>\n
According to the organization, the first shipment consisted of eight truckloads of fresh potatoes, shipped from Hairatan port to the city of Termez in Uzbekistan. The Chamber of Commerce also stated that an agreement has been signed to export 100,000 tons of Bamyan potatoes to Uzbekistan.<\/p>\n
Bamyan province is recognized as the main center of potato harvesting in Afghanistan, although this crop is also cultivated in other regions of the country. However, the lack of standard cold storage facilities and adequate export infrastructure remains a significant challenge for Bamyan farmers in expanding into foreign markets.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, existing restrictions and infrastructural challenges continue to hinder the substantial growth of Afghanistan’s agricultural exports to neighboring countries, highlighting the urgent need for serious attention from responsible institutions and the Taliban administration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
