New Storage Facility Opens In Kabul Airport

A new USAID-funded cold storage facility at Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA) will enable exporters to increase shipments of perishable fresh fruits and vegetables to high-paying united pharmacy canada international markets, minimizing product loss and maximizing profit.
The facility was inaugurated at a ceremony on July 13 at the HKIA Customs Export Warehouse with keynote guests from the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, and the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Industries.
His Excellency Deputy Minister Hashmatullah Ghafoory, Ministry of Agriculture, viagra in usa Irrigation and Livestock thanked USAID for helping remove a long-standing impediment for large-scale air exports. He further pointed out that this HKIA Cold Storage facility will serve as an excellent model for replication elsewhere in the country.
“We have buyers in Dubai, India and Europe who are interested in fresh fruits,” said Zabihullah Ehsan, president of Tak Dana Ltd. “Our fresh fruit exports require a consistent cold chain, but the cold chain could not be maintained due to the lack of cold storage at the airport. This safeguards the fresh fruit in case of flight cancellation or delay and ultimately gives us a chance to compete in those markets.”
