MAZAR-I-SHARIF (Pajhwok): Cotton Processors Union in northern Balkh province has asked farmers to use burlap sacks (hessian fibre) instead of plastic bags to protect cotton’s quality.
These remarks were made at a gathering about creating awareness among farmers regarding the use of burlap bags in Mazar-i-Sharif, the provincial capital.
Representing Cotton Processors and Exporters Union, Syed Mohammad Hashimi said using plastic bags during cotton’s harvesting and processing time damages cotton’s quality.
He said the use of plastic bags was the reason of low quality of Afghanistan’s cotton and its low price in . . .
