The Bagrami Industrial Park, located on the outskirts of Kabul, is one of the first and most important modern industrial parks in Afghanistan. It was established after 2001 with international support to encourage private investment and create an organized space for the manufacturing industry. The park is home to a variety of companies operating in sectors such as food processing, packaging, textiles, furniture manufacturing, and light construction. It has improved infrastructure with more reliable power, water, and security compared to locations outside the park. Bagrami serves as a model for the development of similar parks in other parts of the country. It plays an important role in job creation in the capital region and contributes to the diversification of the Afghan economy by promoting the local production of goods that would otherwise have to be imported. The success of the park is an important indicator of the investment climate and the potential of the private sector in Afghanistan.
