Truck scales and weighbridges are used in various businesses in Afghanistan, including agriculture, transportation, logistics, livestock and poultry, factories, food industries, petrochemicals, and mines. Due to the role of these industries in the development of Afghanistan, the importance of using accurate and high-quality truck scales is felt more than ever.
According to the statistics of 2022, Afghanistan has a population of about 38 million people. It is a country located at the crossroads of Central Asia and South Asia that borders Iran from its west. The provinces of Khorasan Razavi, Southern Khorasan, and Sistan and Baluchestan border with Afghanistan from the Iranian side. The borderline between Afghanistan and Iran is 815 km. This neighborhood provides an excellent opportunity for business owners in Afghanistan to buy and import different products including the highest quality truck scales from Iran.
The economic situation of Afghanistan
The per capita GDP of Afghanistan in 2020 is about 2.4 thousand dollars, the share of the agricultural sector is 23%, the industrial sector is 21.1% and the service sector is 55.9%. This capacity shows the importance of the industry and also the need to use standard weighing devices.
Why accurate weighing devices are important?
A weighing device is supposed to help you weigh your products and receive the money which is proportionate to the weight of the shipment. This means that inaccuracy in weighing could lead to great losses. As a result, choosing the right truck scale which is manufactured by a reputable company is a significant decision.
