NEILI CITY (Pajhwok): Orchard owners and businesspeople in central Daikundi province have complained about the quantity and quality of this year’s almond yield.
Anwar, an almond merchant, said this year’s drought had left a negative impact on fruit trees in the province, taking a toll on almond production.
People are heavily reliant on income from almond sales, but the yield was harmed by drought and a shortage of water this year.
Given its poor quality, almond was supplied to the market at a pretty low rate, the grower says, citing fewer buyers for the fruit as another problem . . .
