Afghanistan National Export Strategy: ‘Peace through Prosperity, Prosperity through Trade’

Описание: In order to assist Afghanistan in achieving its full export potential, the Afghan Government requested the International Trade Centre to provide support developing a 5-year National Export Strategy (NES) to identify and address the key obstacles that currently constrain Afghanistan’s export competitiveness. ITC’s intervention was made possible with funding from the European Union under the Advancing Afghan Trade project.
The NES sets the following priority sectors: carpets, dried fruits and nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, marble and granite, precious stones and jewellery, and saffron.
Additionally, six trade support functions were identified as determinant for enabling export development in Afghanistan: quality management, trade facilitation, trade information and promotion, skills development, business and professional services and access to finance.
