The Taliban administration in Herat has announced that 90 percent of the vegetables available in the province’s markets are supplied through active local greenhouses. On Tuesday, 1st Sowr, the Taliban Governor’s Media Office published a statement claiming that more than four thousand “standard” greenhouses are currently operating in Herat.<\/p>\n
The statement said that the production from these greenhouses throughout different seasons meets the demand of domestic markets and has played an important role in increasing local production. The administration also claimed that the development of greenhouses has reduced dependence on imports and stabilized vegetable prices in the markets.<\/p>\n
According to these claims, the Herat Agriculture Directorate under the Taliban administration has programs underway to further expand greenhouses, improve product quality, and increase production capacity. However, no specific details have been provided about the extent to which these programs have been implemented or how quality control and product distribution are monitored.<\/p>\n
These claims come amid rising vegetable prices in local markets following the Taliban administration’s halt of trade with Pakistan. Some residents of Herat have previously complained about price increases, raising questions about the actual impact of greenhouses on market stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
