In this video, we discuss the recent developments regarding the Pak-Afghan border reopening and its direct impact on the local agricultural market. While the border has seen limited reopening for humanitarian aid, the continued suspension of regular trade has led to a massive surplus of produce within Pakistan. We analyze how this situation is affecting the movement of goods and what it means for the regional economy in 2026.
​The potato market in Pakistan is currently facing a historic crisis, with prices dropping by over 70%. Due to the halt in exports to Afghanistan and Central Asian countries, the domestic market is oversupplied, causing wholesale rates to plummet far below the cost of production. This price crash has left thousands of farmers in a state of panic as they struggle to recover even their basic input costs for fertilizers and seeds.
​Because of the lack of cold storage space and the arrival of the new bumper crop, farmers are being forced to harvest and sell their potatoes at "throwaway" prices. Many are choosing to offload their produce immediately rather than watching it rot, despite the heavy financial losses. Watch the full video to understand the ground reality of Pakistan's agriculture sector and what the farmers are demanding from the government.
