An Afghan businessman has built a camel farm in Kunduz at the cost of one million US dollars.

According to traders, he brought 500 camels from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan, and the United Arab Emirates and keeps them on this farm.

Camel herds are kept in the forests of the Amu River Sher Khan Bandar area of the Imam Sahib district of Kunduz.

These camels will be exported to Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other countries of the world.

“Currently, Arab countries demand camels from us for up to twenty thousand dollars,” said Ahmad Fahim Rahimi, a farmer.

“When we didn’t work on the farm we were faced with economic challenges,” said Sayed Amir, a worker at the farm.

The Department of Agriculture and Livestock of Kunduz welcomed the establishment of the camel farm and called for support from investors in the province.

“Now the problem they have in the export sector is that our camels are exported by the name of Iran to other countries,” said Najibullah Hassan, head of the department.

The owner of the farm said that he will try to increase the number of camels in this farm to 2,000 in the future and in addition to this, he will also create a camel milk processing plant.
