Bilateral trade between Afghanistan, India to get impacted due to Afghanistan situation: FIEO

17 Aug 2021 Evaluate

With Kabul falling into the hands of the Taliban, Federation of Indian Export Organisations (FIEO) Director General Ajay Sahai has said bilateral trade between Afghanistan and India will get impacted significantly in these uncertain times. He said domestic exporters should follow caution looking into the political development in Afghanistan, particularly with regard to payments, for which adequate credit insurance may be availed by them. He added ‘The trade will be impacted. It would reduce due to the growing uncertainty in Afghanistan’.

FIEO Vice-President Khalid Khan stated there would be a complete standstill in the trade for a certain time, as the situation is out of control in Afghanistan. He said ‘It is a landlocked country and the air route is the main medium of exports and that has been disrupted. Trade will resume only after the uncertainty will get down’. Former FIEO president and country’s leading exporter S K Saraf too said there will be a significant fall in the bilateral trade. He noted ‘We may not lose all because they need our products’. Afghanistan stares at an uncertain future as President Ashraf Ghani left the country just before Kabul fell into the hands of the Taliban on Sunday.

The bilateral trade stood at $1.4 billion in 2020-21 as against $1.52 billion in 2019-20. Exports from India were $826 million and imports were aggregated at $510 million in 2020-21. Afghan exports to India include dried raisin, walnut, almond, fig, pine nut, pistachios, dried apricot and fresh fruits such as apricot, cherry, watermelon, and medicinal herbs. India’s outbound shipments to that country include tea, coffee, pepper and cotton.
