Afghanistan’s Hairatan port sees heavy trade with Central Asia


(MENAFN) Afghanistan’s Hairatan land port has handled over 2.2 million tons of goods traded with Central Asian nations during the past ten months, according to official reports on Tuesday.

The port imported around 2.15 million tons and exported roughly 138,000 tons, Besmullah Mazari, chairman of the Astras Hairatan Port Company, said. A surge in activity was noted over the last three months following a halt in trade with Pakistan due to border tensions.

More than one million tons of goods passed through Hairatan recently, reflecting a shift in regional trade patterns and underscoring the port’s growing importance as a key corridor.

Operating 24/7 in northern Balkh province, Hairatan serves as Afghanistan’s busiest dry port and primary gateway to Central Asia, China, and Europe.
