From August 4-6, 122 Afghan small and medium enterprises (SMEs) attended the Tajikistan Development Exposition, thanks to support from the USG, the Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Afghanistan Investment Support Agency, and the Export Promotion Agency of Afghanistan. The trade fair provided an opportunity for Afghan SMEs from around the country to showcase their products, expand their business networks with a regional trading partner, and promote business and investment opportunities in Afghanistan. The exhibited products and services included marble, carpet, plastics, leather, handicrafts, agribusiness, and business services. Significant contract negotiations for the purchase of plastics, olive oil, and carpets are underway, leading to new export opportunities.
