HERAT CITY (Pajhwok): Businesswomen in western Herat province have organised an exhibition -- the Eidi Bazaar -- to promote the sale of their products.

The exhibition is primarily aimed to introduce and market the products of businesswomen, says an organiser.

She added the businesswomen had put on display dried fruits, clothes, traditional and modern clothing, home decoration items, honey, Saffron, homemade cakes and cookies.
