SHIBERGHAN (Pajhwok): A surge in edible mushroom production has resulted in a price decline in northern Jawzjan province, with the government taking no steps to explore markets for this product, local official said on Sunday.
Abundant rainfall this year spurred the growth of wild mushrooms in different parts of the province, where people are busy collecting the product. In 2016, one kilogram of dried mushrooms accounted for 5,000 afghanis but this year the rate has come down to 3,000 afghanis.
