KHOST CITY (Pajhwok): Traders say pine nut harvest has several times increased this year compared to the previous years in the southeast, especially in Khost province, but its price has decreased unprecedentedly.
They say the main reason behind the low rate is change in the political system that saw air corridor closing with China, as well as trade and commerce routes with many other countries.
Traders say if the air corridor between China and Afghanistan is not reopened, they will have to smuggle the precious dried fruit to Pakistan and sell it there at a very low price.
