Melon yield in Kunduz increases by 20%
Officials at Kunduz Department of Agriculture and Livestock say this year’s melon yield has increased by 20 percent in this province.
“This year’s melon yield has increased by twenty percent compared to the previous year,” said Abdul Ghaffar Sediqi, head of Kunduz Department of Agriculture and Livestock.
Meanwhile, Kunduz farmers are also optimistic about the increase in melon yields in this province, but they ask the government to market their products so that they can be sold at a better price.
In addition, farmers say this year’s drought and lack of water has caused them to harvest melons early.
However, a number of melon sellers state that dozens of trucks full of melons are sent to other provinces for sale every day.
“Thanks to god, the harvest is better than last year,” said a melon seller.
