Trade With Iran Reached More Than $1.8 Billion In Seven Months, Says Taliban

The Taliban's Ministry of Industry and Commerce announced an increase in trade with the Islamic Republic.

According to figures provided by the ministry, the value of Taliban's trade with the Islamic Republic in the past seven months has reached $1.827 billion.

On Saturday, November 16, the Taliban-controlled Bakhtar News Agency quoted the group's Ministry of Industry and Commerce as saying that in the past seven months, $30 million in exports and nearly $1.8 billion in imports have been made between Afghanistan and Iran.

Afghanistan is currently the sixth destination for Iran's exports. Official statistics of Iran's customs have shown that in the past year, Iran has recorded the highest amount of its exports regarding trade with Afghanistan.

The Iran-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce announced in May 2024 that the value of the Islamic Republic's non-oil exports to Afghanistan in 2023 was $1.871 billion.
