The Agricultural Products Exhibition and Farmers Festival, organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock in Badam Bagh, Kabul, concluded today (Saturday).

Officials at the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock have declared the exhibition successful, noting that several cooperation agreements were also signed between the private sector and exhibitors.

Sadr Aazam Osmani, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock, said about the exhibition: "The Ministry of Agriculture collaborates with farmers in marketing and exporting domestic products."

The exhibition featured 263 stalls displaying agricultural products and produce from across Afghanistan, with more than 50 of these allocated to women and enterprising girls.

However, some exhibitors also considered the event to be fruitful.

Shayesta, who participated in the exhibition from Kapisa to find a market for her products, said: "The products we produce are of high quality from our local materials that we purchase to make food items."

Laili, another businesswoman, told TOLOnews, "Our sales are low. We want the Islamic Emirate to help market our products internationally, but currently, we lack the capability because we do not receive support."

Other exhibitors emphasized the importance of more domestic and international exhibitions organized by the Islamic Emirate.

Wahab, an exhibitor, said: "We are pleased with the Ministry of Agriculture for organizing this exhibition here and allowing our fellow citizens to see our local products."

Meanwhile, another exhibition showcasing various domestic sectors' products will be held in Kabul next week by the Chamber of Industries and Mines in cooperation with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce. It is reported that producers and industrialists will display their products in over 800 stalls for one week.
