15. Subsidies on Consumer Items
&
Preference of the Locals
Current Afghan Govt. has lowered custom duties and
taxes on consumer items and goods at such a lower
level that it has turned in to very attractive and
profitable business in the last few years.
Majority of Afghan population consists of Muslims.
Most of them had visited Pakistan. So they prefer Pak.
Halal food items and they are also used to the flavor.

16. Goods of Other Countries
These days there are lots of foreign goods being
sold in Afghanistan mostly of Iran and Turkey
as well as Russian. They are mostly packaged
food items. Moreover there prices are very high
than Pakistani Products. Sometimes people are
forced to buy expired goods of those states
because of lack of awareness and foreign
descriptions on goods.

17. Why This Business
• Stable political structure
• Ever Increasing Demand for Consumer
Goods in Afghanistan
• Investor friendly policy of Afghan Govt.
• Very low industrial progress in food sector

meet any sudden future expenditure
Most of the existing traders and wholesalers in
Afghanistan are selling their goods on 50-70%
profit margin mostly because of huge
transportation cost arises due to cargo agencies.

37. Import Items
• Grapes
• Qandhari Promegenade
• Melons
• Cherry,Blackcurrent and berries

• M11BBA02

44. Import Items
We have plan to import fruits from Afghanistan
and selling it to fruit market traders and big
supermarkets.
But we can only import these fruits at their
bumper production season. Since dominant
afghan currency and travelling cost will not be
bearable if we import them in non bumper
production season.

45. Import Items
• At bumper production level, fruits are very cheap in
Afghanistan. Like grapes are normally sold at 15-
20/Kg and melon at 10 Afghani per kg.
• We can’t afford chilled trucks so we will use special
cartons' and crates for this purpose. Our trucks will be
strictly instructed to deliver them non stop at their
destinations.

46. Cost and Revenue
We will deliver these goods to big
supermarkets and wholesale fruit dealers on
demand in market.
Like in bumper season of grapes we can supply
it to its buyers at 75Rs/kg.
Profit margin 40% at Cost Price (Rs.40) Rs16/kg
Transportation Cost Rs14/kg
Other Expenses Rs5/kg

47. Break Even Point
We can achieve break even point within 4-10 years
Estimation On:
If we export/Import goods 1-3 (trucks) per month
worth (0.3-1.5 million)
1 month Estimated Income 0.1- 1 Million

48. Marketing Strategy
In Afghanistan:
Distribution of Visiting Cards to Retailers and Traders
Advertisement in local newspaper.
Our own stalls in local jumma bazars (On Thursdays)
Offering Special Discounts on big bulk purchases
In Pakistan:
Free sample distribution of goods
Advertisement in local newspaper.

49. Competitive Edge
Own Transportation System
Rapid delivery of Goods
Low profit margin than our Competitors
Desired packing options for our Customers

50. Threats
• Decrease in Afghan currency’s value
• Ban on import and export of particular
items from government
• Terrorism
• Security forces of both sides (Bribery)
• Increase in commodities prices in Pakistan
• New taxes / Custom duties

51. Social Factor
Afghanistan has suffered a lot in civil war
and in war against terror. The people out
there are desperately in need of consumer
items due to drought and slow industrial
progress.
As a Muslim it is our obligation to help
other Muslims as Said by Our Holy
Prophet (P.B.U.H).

52. Social Factor
Help to Local traders and Industrialists in
this time of economic Crisis in Pakistan
Help to tackle smuggling
More Exports and Imports discourage it
