Some producers are hesitant to continue exporting to Afghanistan
Chairman of the Iran-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce: The events on the Afghan border have already had a negative impact on producers, who say that our goods have not been burned or damaged. Our manufacturers are putting up a bit of resistance so that further work can be postponed until more on-site facilities such as better firefighting are provided.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Seyed Hossein Salimi said about the effects of explosions on the Afghan border on trade between the two countries: "Events on the Afghan border have already had a negative impact on producers and they say our goods have not been burned or damaged." Our manufacturers are putting up a bit of resistance so that further work can be postponed until more on-site facilities such as better firefighting are provided.
He added: Manufacturers come in and say, for example, that they have lost $ 200,000 or $ 5 million. These uncertainties hurt our exporters or our exports in general. Of course, I am not saying that no one is addressing this issue, but there have been talks and promises. In general, any kind of incident at the border will have negative effects on the border.
Salimi added: "The second explosion makes some people more cautious in business so that they do not fall victim to the third explosion." He may be able to accept the damage when someone sees it, but he is more cautious when he sees such damage for the second time, and he may postpone it until another time. Such a thing has its negative effects everywhere.
The head of the Iran-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce, in response to a question about the possibility that these explosions were intentional, said: "I will not get into these issues."
