Artisans, traders, and female entrepreneurs from various provinces of the country displayed their local products at an exhibition near the Buddha statues in Bamiyan.

In this exhibition, a variety of handicrafts, dairy products, artworks, and other local products were showcased in over 180 booths for public viewing.

Abdullah Sarhadi, the governor of Bamiyan, said, "Bamiyan is at the service of artisans, traders, and investors to help grow the industry, develop it, and enable exports to other countries."

Mohammad Hafiz Noorzai, head of industry and commerce in Bamiyan, stated: "Companies from the center and neighboring provinces have come, taken booths, and participated. Additionally, the artisans, traders, and investors who are in Bamiyan have also participated."

Khyber Hiwadmal, the organizer, also said: "In this exhibition, we have provided nearly 180 booths to people, with about 80 percent of them being women."

Some participants consider the organization of such exhibitions beneficial for the growth of their economic activities and urge the officials in the interim government to address their other needs as well.

Abdul Jabbar Ebadi, an artisan, said: "Our only problem at the moment is that we do not have electricity, and we currently cannot set up factories in Bamiyan. We also cannot dye our carpets here, and washing them requires a lot of electricity."

Sharifa Ahmadi, an entrepreneur, told TOLOnews: "Holding such exhibitions brings foreign buyers, and we can sell our products more to foreigners."

This exhibition, aimed at supporting local products, will continue for five more days in Bamiyan.

According to the organizers, such exhibitions are planned to be held not only in some provinces of the country but also abroad in the future.
