Kandahar Textile Factory: Step Toward Self-Sufficiency in Textile Production

A manager of a textile factory in Kandahar states that in the coming years, Afghanistan will achieve self-sufficiency in textile production.

Rahmat Rashid, the spokesperson for the joint-stock textile factory named Sandos in Kandahar, which is being built at a cost of $50 million, says that 75% of the work on this factory is complete and production will begin next year.

Rashid adds that with the start of operations, the factory will create job opportunities for 1,500 people.

The spokesperson for Kandahar’s textile factory said, “Sandos is a $55 million joint-stock factory built on 60 acres of land in the Aino Mina area of Kandahar, capable of producing 50,000 meters of textile in 24 hours. Our goal is Afghanistan’s self-sufficiency in textile production, and we expect that our products, in addition to meeting domestic needs, will be exported to regional countries as well.”
