Now that it is Taliban is the new government in Afghanistan, the political situation in the country is deteriorating already. This has had a direct impact on the trades between countries.

The prices of dry fruits sold on India has reached sky high due to the internal situation in Afghanistan. 

Traders are in a lurch, not knowing when the supply will be restored.

As reported by India Today, Dr. Ajay Sahai, Director General (DG) of Federation of Indian Export Organisation (FIEO) said that the exports and imports to India have been stopped by the Taliban. As per the Chambers of Trade and Industry, India is the largest market for Afghan products in the entire South Asia region.

The unani (also known as Arabian medicine) pharmacists get raw materials like mulethi (licorice), wormwood, jujube, akarkara (Anacyclus pyrethrum), dried plum, zaffron, raw hing (asafoetida), pure honey and solo garlic from Afghanistan.
