FARAH CITY (Pajhwok): Farmers in western Farah province have demanded government’s attention towards market exploration for watermelon as they eyed bumper yield this year.
Mohammad Raza, one of the farmers, told Pajhwok Afghan News: “The entire year we have worked hard and waiting for the watermelon crops but currently the prices had declined and there is no market.”
He said a five kilogram watermelon was accounted for 20 afs in the market and this did not serve the farmers interest.
He said the main issue behind the deteriorated watermelon market in Farah province was the import of Iranian watermelon . . .
