Despite claims of a ban on the export of fruits and vegetables, customs clearing agents and fruit importers at Torkham have reported that 100-115 vehicles carrying these goods continue to arrive in Pakistan from Afghanistan daily.
This ongoing trade contradicts the Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber of Commerce’s assertion that the Taliban government had imposed a ban on these supplies due to a recent increase in import duties by Pakistan, as reported by Dawn.
Dawn reported, citing its sources, that the flow of fruits and vegetables from Afghanistan continues, with no official notices of a ban being received. This suggests that trade in these goods remains active despite earlier claims of a prohibition.
