A five-day exhibition showcasing local products and handicrafts has opened in Fayzabad, the capital of Badakhshan province, with the aim of supporting artisans and strengthening the local economy, according to the province’s Department of Information and Culture.<\/p>\n
Organizers say the exhibition features dozens of local products, handicrafts, and traditional goods from Badakhshan displayed across 50 booths. The event seeks to introduce more citizens to the province\u2019s indigenous crafts.<\/p>\n
Zabiullah Amiri, head of Badakhshan’s Department of Information and Culture, said the goal of the event is to promote the province\u2019s handicrafts, local goods, and cultural heritage. He added that part of the initiative is dedicated to reviving traditional crafts that have disappeared in recent years.<\/p>\n
Several vendors and artisans described the exhibition as a valuable opportunity to market and sell their products. Abdolali Yaftali, head of Badakhshan\u2019s Carpet Weavers Union, said residents from other provinces and occasionally foreign visitors attend the fair, creating potential for the local market\u2019s growth.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, some female entrepreneurs welcomed the exhibition, urging the Taliban administration to create more economic opportunities for women. Nazirane Shahristani, one of the entrepreneurs, emphasized that hosting more such events could enhance sales of women\u2019s products both domestically and internationally.<\/p>\n
Several participating women also called for the establishment of a dedicated women\u2019s market in Badakhshan, saying the lack of such a space limits women\u2019s employment and economic opportunities. They believe that creating a designated market could help improve their livelihoods.<\/p>\n
Both exhibitors and attendees stressed that continuing such exhibitions \u2014 coupled with consistent support policies \u2014 could significantly strengthen the handicrafts sector and improve the economic situation for artisans in Badakhshan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
