Prices of dryfruits and onions may increase due to stoppage of imports and exports, Taliban spokesman said – the situation will be clear after the formation of the government
Afghanistan is now completely occupied by the Taliban. After the capture, now the Taliban are also announcing their new rules and regulations. In such a situation, its relations with India have also been affected. With coming to power, the Taliban has changed its relationship with India. All the imports and exports from India by the Taliban have been stopped. Federation of India Export Organization Dr Ajay Sahai has confirmed this.
Dr Ajay Sahai said that the Taliban has currently banned the movement of all cargo. Most of the goods going to Afghanistan used to go through Pakistan, which has been closed. At present, he is constantly monitoring the situation in Afghanistan, so that the supply can start soon. But for the time being, both import and export have been banned by the Taliban.
Dr Ajay Sahai said that India is the biggest partner of Afghanistan in terms of trade. In the year 2021 itself, India exported $ 835 million to Afghanistan, while also imported $ 510 million. Apart from this, India has also invested extensively in Afghanistan. Let us tell you that India exports many things including tea, coffee, spices, sugar to Afghanistan on a large scale. While also imports dryfruits and onions. In such a situation, this decision of Taliban may increase the prices of dryfruits.
Let us tell you that a few days ago, Taliban had said that it wants to build good relations with India and India can complete all its other work in Afghanistan without any problem. However, due to the closure of trade, the problem between the two countries may increase. However, a Taliban spokesman said that once the government is formed, everything will be clear.
