JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Date harvest at the canal’s garden in eastern Nangarhar province is estimated to reach six tons --- four times up compared to last year’s yield, an official said Sunday.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has planted around 2,800 trees in the garden by 10 years back and it was expected that the trees would start yielding dates within four years.
However, the garden started producing dates later than expected and the yield increased last year.
Sayed Hamayoon Gharibmal, the canal’s spokesman, said the garden would produce six tons . . .
