Trade route closures send Helmand cotton prices plunging 60 percent

Key points

اہم نکات

मुख्य बातें

  • Farmers in Afghanistan's Helmand province say cotton prices have plunged by about 60 percent since trade routes with Pakistan closed, leaving this year's harvested crop sitting unsold in their homes.
  • A maund of cotton that used to sell for 250 to 350 Afghanis has fallen sharply as buyers disappeared, while the cost of fertiliser and pesticides has risen, so growers cannot recover what they spent on planting and harvesting.
  • Helmand's Chamber of Commerce says it is trying to find alternative export markets in China, Iran, Turkey and Uzbekistan for the province's cotton.
  • افغانستان کے صوبہ ہلمند کے کسانوں کا کہنا ہے کہ پاکستان کے ساتھ تجارتی راستے بند ہونے کے بعد کپاس کی قیمتیں تقریباً 60 فیصد گر گئی ہیں، اور اس سال کی کٹی ہوئی فصل گھروں میں بغیر فروخت پڑی ہے۔ ایک من کپاس جو پہلے 250 سے 350 افغانی میں بکتی تھی، خریدار نہ ہونے کی وجہ سے اس کی قیمت تیزی سے گر گئی ہے، جبکہ کھاد اور کیڑے مار ادویات کی قیمتیں بڑھ گئی ہیں، اس لیے کسان اپنی لاگت بھی واپس نہیں لے پا رہے۔ ہلمند چیمبر آف کامرس کا کہنا ہے کہ وہ صوبے کی کپاس کے لیے چین، ایران، ترکی اور ازبکستان میں متبادل منڈیاں تلاش کر رہا ہے۔
  • अफ़ग़ानिस्तान के हेलमंद प्रांत के किसानों का कहना है कि पाकिस्तान के साथ व्यापार मार्ग बंद होने के बाद कपास की कीमतें लगभग 60 प्रतिशत गिर गई हैं, और इस साल की कटी फसल घरों में बिना बिके पड़ी है। एक मन कपास जो पहले 250 से 350 अफ़ग़ानी में बिकती थी, खरीदार न मिलने से उसकी कीमत तेज़ी से गिर गई है, जबकि खाद और कीटनाशकों की कीमतें बढ़ गई हैं, इसलिए किसान अपनी लागत भी वापस नहीं पा रहे। हेलमंद चैंबर ऑफ़ कॉमर्स का कहना है कि वह प्रांत की कपास के लिए चीन, ईरान, तुर्की और उज़्बेकिस्तान में वैकल्पिक बाज़ार तलाश कर रहा है।
