The Afghan Chamber of Commerce and Investment (ACCI) said that after political changes in August last year, wheat imports fell by 20%.
Portal TOLOnews, referring to the statement of the chamber, notes that the reduction is due to the high cost of wheat.
During a meeting with the Director General of the Food Security Department of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Yerlan Baidaulet, the Deputy Press Secretary of the Islamic Emirate, Inamull Samangani, said that
"Kazakhstan is considering the possibility of resuming wheat exports to Afghanistan in the same volume."
According to ACCI, Afghanistan annually imports from 1.5 to 2 million tons of wheat, most of which is supplied by Kazakhstan.
Note, according to the State Revenue Committee, in February Kazakhstan exported 93.8 thousand tons of wheat to Afghanistan.
