KANDAHAR CITY (Pajhwok): Pomegranate produce has increased by 20 percent in southern Kandahar province despite being damaged by pest attacks and autumn rains.
Kandahar orchard owners and traders say that recent rainfalls damaged 70 percent of pomegranate harvest in the province.
On the other hand, Pakistan has made a three-fold in tax on Kandahar pomegranate, resulting in reduced exports to the neighboring country.
This and some other factors have caused huge losses to Kandahar orchard owners.
