The Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan said that from the beginning of the current solar year to the end of the lunar calendar, Afghanistan has exported 1,110 tons of black pine nuts to a number of countries. Akhundzada Abdul Salam Jawad, a spokesman for the ministry, told the media in a video that Afghanistan has exported black pine nuts to Austria, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, England, the United States, Italy, Australia, Germany, Pakistan, Turkey, China, and other countries in the past 11 months.
