MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Carpet exporters say only six of 40 carpet weaving and exporting companies are operational in the country’s north due to government’s negligence, insecurity, high material prices and mismatching international market demand.
The Chamber of Commerce and industry of northern Balkh province says carpet weavers should meet international market demand by standardizing their products.
Abdul Sattar Baigzada, head of Carpet Exporters Union in the north, said that 40 companies of carpet production and export had been active in the zone a few years ago but currently only six of them . . .
