KABUL, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) — A three-day exhibition of domestic products opened in eastern Afghanistan’s Panjshir province, the local media Tolonews reported Sunday.
About 20 booths have been set up, displaying a wide range of items including agricultural products, textiles, food items, and construction materials, the report said.
The exhibitions provide a platform for local producers to promote market opportunities for Afghan-made goods, play a role in reducing dependence on imports, and encourage investment in local industries, the report added.
Afghanistan has long relied on imported goods, as local industries struggle with technological gaps, limited funding, and constrained market access. Over the past year, nationwide exhibitions have showcased domestic products, attracting both investors and consumers. ■
