Trade overview
Afghanistan is a landlocked country in Central/South Asia whose trade environment has been severely impacted by decades of conflict and, since August 2021, by the Taliban's return to governance, which has triggered international sanctions and suspension of foreign aid. The country's primary exports include dried fruits, nuts, carpets, medicinal plants, and precious stones, while it relies heavily on imports of food, fuel, machinery, and consumer goods. Key transit routes run through Pakistan and Iran, and Afghanistan is a member of the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA).
