Afghan Exporters Claim '$450M' Loss Due to Detained Shipments
The Nangarhar Chamber of Commerce and Investment said that Afghan businesspeople suffered a nearly $400 million financial loss over the past eight months because of products detained at Pakistan’s Karachi port.
But Afghan exporters say problems also exist on the Iranian side. Speaking at a seminar on the difficulties currently facing the Afghan businessmen at Iran’s Chabahar Port, members of the Nangarhar Chamber of Commerce and Investment said that the Afghan government has failed to address the problems that the Afghan business community and private sector face in the neighboring countries.
