According to INPIA , Saeed Turkman, Chairman of the Export Commission of the National Association of Plastic Industries of Iran, said: “According to the customs statistics of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the amount of export of tariff products 39, which includes Plastic products excluding raw materials were $ 200 million last year. The total export of plastics and resins is a total of one billion dollars, in other words, more than 20% of the export of plastics is the Afghan market.
“Another point that needs to be taken into account is that we have linguistic and cultural commonalities with the people of Afghanistan and we should not simply allow Pakistan to enter and occupy our share,” Turkman said.
“For example, Pashtuns prefer to use Pakistani goods, but the good thing that has happened is that the Afghan government is not very interested in buying Pakistani goods and addresses its people as the cost of buying goods,” he said. Pakistani has turned into bombs and weapons and is causing insecurity in Afghanistan itself.
According to Turkman, the promotion of this discourse by the Afghan government is a kind of embargo on Pakistani goods. “By observing Afghanistan’s plastic market, we find that 50 percent of it is in Iran’s possession and the rest is in Pakistan and other countries,” he said.
Referring to the bulk of some plastic products and the cost of transporting them such as pipes, he said: “However, the Afghan market is a good platform for these products.” If we want to have a picture of the infrastructure of this country, we must compare its cities with the small cities of Iran 35 years ago, which lacked the necessary infrastructure.
Turkman continued: In the discussion of plastic irrigation pipe industries, the Afghan market is suitable. Houses outside its urban centers are also moving toilets. Given the consumer culture of Afghanistan and this $ 200 million market, one must think about preserving it.
Referring to the purchase of Iranian plastic products by Afghan traders, the manufacturer said: “Some Iranian goods are bought by Afghan traders and imported into that country.” Now that Afghanistan is on the path to stability and order, as well as its accession to the WTO, there are rules that can no longer simply be present in the Afghan market.
“Touching and being present in the market, which accounts for 25 percent of our exports, is a necessity, and if we can not assess the needs of our neighbors and produce according to their needs,” Turkman added. We certainly do not succeed in other areas.
A member of the board of the National Association of Plastic Industries of Iran said about holding a specialized conference on the export market of Afghanistan: “It is customary to use the tools and choose the right path, even for a simple purchase.” Therefore, it is necessary to move towards the market by obtaining the necessary information.
He continued: “Sometimes some of the participants in the exhibitions achieve less results. In conversations with colleagues and the pathology that has been done, we came to the conclusion that the reason was that we only wanted to know the Iranian market in the country.” Let’s attend a third party.
Turkman said: “As mentioned, Pashtuns are interested in buying Pakistani and Persian-speaking goods in Afghanistan and want to supply Iranian goods. If this issue is not addressed in the Afghan market, the necessary results will not be achieved.”
“Based on the needs assessment, some colleagues do not have a specific plan to participate in the exhibitions,” he said. “Knowing the capabilities of the Trade Development Organization and their tools, such as trade advisers in different countries, is a necessity.” We do not know what we can get help from. Sometimes we may not be able to get the help we need because we do not know their inherent duties.
Turkman said: “Part of this conference is related to how we are present in the Afghan market and to know the size of the Afghan economy and if cooperation enters this country, to act with awareness.”
“For example, some goods have relatively high tariffs, but on the other hand, there are ways that we can enter the Afghan market with lower tariffs,” Turkman said. These are meant to be experienced by successful people in this market. Now there are companies that have succeeded in exporting large quantities to this country and why others do not take advantage of this market.
He considered the holding of this conference as an exceptional opportunity to get acquainted with the market of this country and said: “In addition, we invited people who have experience of the ministry in Afghanistan and know the Iranian market well, in this conference to create conditions for the attendees.” Explain.
“Now some Afghan businessmen are criticizing the conference,” Turkman said. According to them, this event will increase the information of Iranian producers towards this market by 800 billion Tomans. With the regulation of exports to the Afghan market, it is even possible to increase exports to twice the current figure.
