Return of Afghan Migrants from Pakistan Boosts Rosary-Making Industry in Kandahar
The return of a number of Afghan migrants from Pakistan to Kandahar province has contributed to the growth and expansion of the rosary-making industry in the region. Local residents say this industry has flourished in recent months, providing employment opportunities for several families.
According to provided information, migrants who have returned to the country after years of living in Pakistan have utilized their experience and skills in rosary production to establish small workshops or join existing activities. This initiative has led to increased production levels and a broader sales market.
Local Taliban authorities in Kandahar have announced their support for this industry and pledged to facilitate necessary services for those involved in the sector. They have stated they will strive to create an environment conducive to the further growth of this traditional craft.
Rosary-making is considered one of the ancient handicrafts in some parts of Afghanistan and, with effective support, can become a sustainable source of income for families. However, some artisans emphasize that the practical realization of support promises and provision of marketing facilities will play a decisive role in the survival and development of this industry.
