Exports of carpets have dropped by 90% in the recent month as
transportation via air-corridors were halted after the government failed to pay
the money owed to the private airline companies in time.
According to the Afghan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the
Afghan government didn’t pay the 345 million AFN payment to the private airline
companies.
The Afghan government previously subsidized 80% of the
exports cost to transport the carpets via air-corridor. The traders then paid
50-60 cent dollar for one square meter.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry said it
plans to subsidize some of the carpet exports costs.
