Taliban asked Iran to facilitate Afghan dried fruits to India through Chabahar

New Delhi: Taliban have realized that governance is beans that are difficult to crack.
To restart the export of fresh and dry fruits, the main income, they have approached Iran to ask for help.
News Tasnim Iran reported that Tehran has agreed to evaluate the Taliban proposal for Afghan trading cargo transportation and the export of fresh and dry fruits to India through the Chabahar route.
The Taliban proposed a detailed plan last week when representatives from the two countries signed a comprehensive trade agreement.
Iran and the Taliban have agreed to maintain operations all the time at the intersection of Qala-Dogarun Islamic borders and take practical steps to improve and develop land routes at the border intersection.
In principle, Iran has agreed to allow Afghan traders to export fresh and dry fruits to India through the Dogarun-Chabahar route which is closed after the arrest of the Taliban Afghanistan.
This year, exporter must exclusively rely on land routes to send their products because there is no air cargo flight available.

But the route was closed in July by Iran quoting security issues.
After the Taliban came to power, they forbade export and import to India.
But now, under enormous economic pressure, the new regime has decided to rethink his attitude.
India imports around 85 percent of its dried fruits from a war-hit country.
Afghanistan has witnessed the harvest of dried fruit bumper this year.

Afghan export to India includes dry raisins, walnuts, almonds, figs, pine nuts, pistachios, dry apricots and fresh fruits such as apricots, cherries, watermelons, and some herbal medicine.
Previously, Afghan fresh fruit traders used Indian air cargo corridors and Afghanistan, which was stopped due to political uncertainty in this country.
Afghan traders also used the route Torkham and Chaman Borders the country to the border of Wagis through Pakistan, but since July, these routes become unworthy specifically for fresh cargo fruits that are easily damaged.
The opening of this border depends on the atmosphere of the Pakistani authority, and they also raise bribes to allow trucks to cross the border, said Bias Ibrahim despite the bumper fruit plants, hundreds of tons of fresh fruits remained stranded in the Crossing Points border with Pakistan for finally exports for weeks Sunday and finally becomes rotten.
When the traders of the two countries were also worried about the collapse of the banking system in Afghanistan, which could hamper access to the Indian market.
And above that, the Adani Group has banned the import and export of cargo containers who come to the Port of Mundra from Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
At present most of the Afghan dried fruit cargo comes to the port of Nhava Sheva (JNPT) so that there will be no many impacts, the Association of Indian fruit traders and hope that the Indian government will intervene.
