| EPAA represented at AGFAIR 2007 | | | | | | | | Various varieties of Afghan exports, recognised around the world as a symbol of Afghan culture, tradition and civilisation, will go on display at three major international trade shows this winter.
EPAA, GTZ and USAID supported participation of 24 Afghan exporters to attend for first time the South Asian Commodity Fair in Beijing, China held from December 28 to 30, 2007.
On the importance of the fair for the economic growth of the carpet sector, Suleman Fatimie, CEO of Export Promotion Agency, said: Participation in these trade shows will support and encourage the promotion of the Afghan exports, and will boost Afghan traders. The shows will help establish linkages to new markets and customers around the world.
Twenty-four industry representatives visited Beijing. China is increasingly becoming an important business destination for Afghanistan, both for exporters and importers, remarked Bryan Rhodes, the Chief of Party for USAID Afghanistan Small and Medium Enterprise Development project. We are pleased to support emerging Afghan entrepreneurs in strengthening trade ties with one of the world’s most important economies, added Rhodes. | | |
