Herat has exported 30,000 sets of women's and children's clothing to Iraq, marking the first time that these specific goods have been exported from the province to the Iraqi market.

The total value of the exported clothing is estimated at approximately 100,000 US dollars. According to the head of the Herat clothing producers association, this shipment represents a significant milestone for local garment manufacturers as they seek to expand their reach into international markets.

The association noted that this initial export is intended to test the market and establish a foundation for future trade. Consequently, plans are already being developed for the next phase of exports, which are expected to involve significantly larger quantities of clothing.

This development is part of a broader effort to increase the volume of textile exports from Herat and to establish new commercial partnerships. By securing this first shipment to Iraq, local producers aim to demonstrate the quality and competitiveness of their products on a regional scale, paving the way for more sustainable trade agreements in the future.
