The lack of sufficient electricity and the high price of fuel are the problems faced by manufacturing companies
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: Three-day exhibition "Productions, Work and Education" (Sunday, March 5) by Moj Vision in cooperation with Rolex Company, Ministries of Industry and Trade, Economy, Higher Education and Kabul Municipality and the private sector. Afghanistan was opened in Kabul Serena Hotel with the presence of officials of the Islamic Emirate, businessmen and investors.
Syed Shafiq, a representative of a private company, in a conversation with AVA reporter said: Our saffron production company exports to Turkey, Iran, UAE, India and America.
Syed Shafiq says that the sales and export of Afghanistan's saffron has decreased dramatically in the last two years, and for the growth of saffron exports and sales, the Islamic Emirate should create facilities in the air and land corridor.
He said: "We had a contract for two hundred kilos of saffron with the Chinese government and it was canceled because we could not export it."
Mohammadullah Ahmadi, the representative of another private company, said at the three-day exhibition of production, work and education: more than 43 types of washing machine products are produced by this company inside the country.
According to him, this production company produces quality products with global standards and has official representation in 21 provinces of the country.
He stated that the biggest problems of manufacturing companies are the lack of sufficient electricity and the exorbitant price of fuel and added: The price of electricity and fuel must be reduced so that we can sell our products at a cheap price.
Narges Eliasi, one of the industrial women, said in a conversation with AVA reporter: Before the arrival of the Islamic Emirate, 15 women were working in our factory, but currently there is no market for the products.
According to Narges Eliasi, industrial women are not supported enough by the government, and the organizers of the exhibitions also receive exorbitant amounts of money from them for taking a stand.
Stating that the Islamic Emirate should open schools above the sixth grade and universities to girls, he said: Businesswomen should not be used as a working tool in front of the world.
Mohammad Taher Doran, representative of another manufacturing company, said: Our company's products are biscuits, cakes, chocolates, etc., which is represented in 26 provinces of the country.
He said that not long ago, this company exported its products to Kazakhstan.
Mohammad Taher Duran added that places for holding exhibitions should be chosen so that the general public can easily visit the exhibitions and learn about the production of domestic products.
He said: "We import some raw materials from other countries for the production of our products, they wait for more than 6 months at the customs, these problems must be solved."
Mojtabi Heydari, the representative of another production company, also said: We have been working in the same supply of dried fruit products in Balkh province for more than 15 years.
He called for the Islamic Emirate's serious support for the country's domestic production and added that the current government has been able to provide ease for businessmen compared to the previous regimes.
He added that the Islamic Emirate should organize exhibitions in different provinces of Afghanistan in cooperation with the private sector of the country, in order to introduce domestic products to the citizens.
