Afghan-Pak Trade Drops 40 Percent in Three Months: PAJCCI

Officials from the Pakistan Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI) said on Monday that trade between the two neighbors has dropped by just over 40 percent in the past three months.

The officials believe that the recent souring of relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan is largely behind this development and say that Afghan businessmen in particular have reduced the number of products, particularly food, that they import and are instead turning to other regional countries for supplies.

There are however other issues that have added to this decrease – issues that include transit problems, the worsening economy and the increase of customs tariffs into the country, said officials.

However, a widespread, yet informal boycott of Pakistani products is being seen around the country – particularly in Kabul.

One city resident, Parwiz Haidari, said his entire family now refuse to buy any Pakistani products. "In the past I bought rice, oil, wheat and other products from Pakistan. Now I look for alternate products from countries such as Russia, Turkey, India and even Kuwait."

...

"Now due to Pakistan's agenda towards Afghanistan, there has been a public move to boycott products manufactured in this country [Pakistan]. Because of this the people don't want to use goods from Pakistan. Bad relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have caused this drop in trade between the two countries. Even a number of Pakistani investors have raised concerns over the issue," deputy chairman of the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries (ACCI) Khan Jan Alokozay said.

...

Alokozay said that "right now even children are refusing to buy Pakistan goods such as biscuits. Because of this, many businessmen have stopped importing goods from Pakistan."

Meanwhile, officials from the Industries Association are optimist that this will have a positive impact on the domestic manufacturing market. They said: "Right now motivation has been created in the markets to use local products and owners of factories are optimistic over the increase of [sales] of their products."

Importers have meanwhile, turned to other regional markets to fill the gap and are now bringing in goods from Turkey, Iran, China, Turkmenistan, Russia, India and other Asian countries.

I don't understand. Pakistanis repeatedly boast about how they control Afghanistan's trade routes and how because of that, they've got Afghanistan in their bag. So now that Afghans stops buying Pakistani products, Afghans are bad?

... even I have higher exceptions of you ... perhaps if you set higher goals for yourself, you stand some chance at achieving them?

Perhaps you and similar minded Afghans can start a twitter campaign reminding that 3 million Afghans find homes in Afghanistan ...

Perhaps you can have Afghan children carrying banners that three million Afghans find refuge Pakistan

Perhaps you and similar minded Afghans can carry counter protests reminding these Afghans that
three million Afghans find refuge Pakistan

How about a banner:
My dear Afghan Compatriot: Were you born in Pakistan!
My dear Afghan Compatriot: Did you family find refuge in Pakistan!
My dear Afghan Compatriot: Does you family find refuge in Pakistan!

@pakistani342 You seem to be real motivated about this Afghan thing. What do want? Pakistan to declare war on Afghanistan? Ask Allah to move Afghanistan to other side of the world? Or you want Pakistan to make up and be friends with India then shift all it's military might to the Afghan border?

What is that motivates you?

Yes they are , tough times make you a tough person . But still they need to have practical outlook towards this u can't pay higher for some thing as basic as food.

Even we export food items from Pakistan. But I guess it all depends upon the prices and that blackmailing part he was talking about.

Once kids start hating a Nation, it will take Generations to mend the relations between the two sides.

India and Pakistan are the Prime example of nations, currently going through these phases of utmost animosity
