Hanafi urges traders to invest in Afghan agricultural sector

He said there was no threat to anyone in the country and security issues had been resolved.

Speaking to the media at an agricultural fair, Hanafi said that if someone is detained, security forces should detain them for the “designated” period and then present them to the appropriate bodies.

“It is the moral responsibility of the whole world to cooperate with us in the development of Afghanistan’s agricultural sector,” Hanafi said.

Addressing the same assembly, on 1^st Deputy Prime Minister Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar said the Islamic emirate had not satisfied the people over the past year.

“For more than a year, we have done nothing for our nation. We should admit that we have not done any satisfactory job for our nation,” he said.

The Acting Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Animal Husbandry (MoAIL) has described the role of agriculture as important for the self-sufficiency of the country.

“We are in contact with technical and academic personalities from the agriculture, irrigation and livestock sectors,” he said.

An exhibition of agricultural products took place in Kabul, where farmers complained about the lack of markets for their products.

The exhibition was also attended by women entrepreneurs.

“The market for domestic products is weak. People don’t have good economic conditions and don’t have money,” said Zahra Kazimi, an organizer of the expo.

“We currently have no products to export abroad. We no longer exported honey after the political changes in the country,” said Wahiddulah Afzali, an organizer of the expo.
