Baghlan Textile Factory Produces Nearly 2,000 Meters of Fabric Daily

A textile manufacturing facility in Pul-e-Khumri, Baghlan province, is currently producing approximately 2,000 meters of cotton fabric each day, according to facility management. The plant operates as a fully integrated production site, managing all manufacturing stages in-house, including weaving, finishing, and dyeing. Operations at the facility were officially restarted and reconstructed after the Islamic Emirate returned to power.

Factory head Hafiz Mohammad Isa Bilal confirmed that the plant’s supply chain relies exclusively on domestically sourced materials. Raw cotton and necessary inputs are procured from Spinzar in Kunduz province, Jan Press in Mazar-i-Sharif, and independent farmers across the northern regions. Management emphasized that the factory’s output is directed toward domestic markets as part of an effort to increase local production and decrease textile imports.

The facility currently employs more than 140 workers. Official staffing records list 108 permanent employees, supplemented by approximately 40 daily wage laborers. Officials noted that the reconstruction and operational revival of the plant were implemented to stimulate regional economic activity and restore industrial capacity in the province. Maintaining consistent production levels remains a stated priority for sustaining local employment and meeting regional demand.
