According to the ministry, this is an increase of more than 15 percent against last year. MAIL spokesman Lotfullah Rashid said Afghan farmers will earn a decent amount of money this year as a large percentage of these grapes will be exported to India. Meanwhile, a number of farmers and garden owners from Bagram district in Parwan province said their crops were good this year but they still need a good market for their produce. They said they take their products to local markets but they cannot sell them at a good price.
