Pine nut forests exist in Sarobi, Ogon, Birmal, Gomal, Omna, Sar Roza, Naka, Zherok, Giyan and Warmami districts.
Mohammad Akbar, a pine nut trader in Orgon district, told Pajhwok Afghan News the dried fruit had no gainful market this year and they were facing an economic crisis.
He warned if the government did not find a market for pine nuts, the fruit might be affected by lack of proper storage facilities.
