The incident occurred on Tuesday morning in the Narin area between Qaisar and Almar districts of the province, provincial police chief Brig. Gen. Abdul Khaliq Aqsai told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The two trucks loaded with food were set ablaze and a driver killed in the incident, he said.
The militants destroyed nearly 60 tonnes of wheat and ghee and Taliban also arrested two truck drivers, said Qaisar district chief Mohammad Siddique Hamidyar.
