Afghan Trade

Transit through Pakistan is currently the only viable option for Afghanistan, and both countries have recently signed Afghan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA), which has allowed the use of containers of international specifications for non-perishable goods of appropriate size.

Pakistan and Afghanistan have also reached an understanding on the broad parameters of Afghan exports to Pakistan and India and the use of Afghan territory for Pakistan’s exports to the Central Asian states. This is a major achievement as Pakistan had always dreamt of accessing Central Asia since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991- which has yielded 15 new landlocked states offering new markets for vast economic and trade potential.

Geographically, routes to the south for Central Asia are most feasible for trade, as other directions involve long distances, lack of infrastructure or prohibitive climate and topography.
