A batch of 200 kilograms of pomegranates from Afghanistan cleared customs smoothly and were transported to be exhibited at the sixth China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai on November 5.

This marks the first appearance of Afghan pomegranates on the Import Expo stage which will once again provide domestic consumers with an opportunity to savor exotic cuisine.

The cultivation of pomegranates in Afghanistan plays a vital role in the nation’s agricultural economy.

Afghanistan is renowned as “the land of pomegranates” due to its traditional farming techniques and the high quality of the pomegranate varieties grown there.
