The government of Afghanistan has inaugurated for the first time-ever a pine nut processing factory in Kabul on Thursday, where President Ashraf Ghani and over 200 Afghan politicians including Chinese Ambassador Liu Jinsong were present. President Ghani regards the founding of a pine nut processing factory as a major step forward for the country's economic development. Pine nuts, a major cash crop in Afghanistan, are being exported to China, the world's largest market, and are popular among Chinese consumers, Ghani said.
