HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): Industrial factories in western Herat province produce around 4,000 tonnes of steel rebar daily, the provincial Information and Culture Department said on Thursday.
In a statement, the department said more than 30 industrial companies in Herat were engaged in iron production and processing, manufacturing products such as steel rebar, girders, billets and metal pipes to meet market demand.
The statement said the expansion of iron factories and increased domestic production capacity had enabled Herat to become self-sufficient in meeting the market’s iron requirements.
It added that products from domestic factories, particularly iron products manufactured in Herat, had been used in several infrastructure, construction and development projects across the country in recent years.
