About $30 million invested in Balkh manufacturing company

Afghanistan economic authorities say about $30 million has been invested in Mofeed, a Balkh producer of edible oil and animal and poultry feed. The development is being presented by the relevant authorities as part of broader efforts to expand domestic production, investment and employment in Afghanistan. The expected benefits remain projected outcomes rather than independently established results. Their scale will depend on construction, sustained investment, actual factory activity and market access. Industrial infrastructure can support local processing of raw materials and manufacturing, but reliable power, transport, finance, standards and skilled workers will also be important. Future production, employment and investment data will provide a clearer measure of the practical economic impact.
