About nuts and dried fruit from Afghanistan

Afghanistan is known for producing some of the finest nuts, cores and dried fruits. The special climate and the dry, high mountains provide taste and power to the crops. Many nuts and dried fruits come from trees that grow wild in nature.

About Afghanistan.

Afghanistan has suffered from war and conflict in up to 40 years, when hundreds of thousands have been killed and millions driven on the run. The fighting has had a completely devastating effect on Afghan society with uncertainty, widespread poverty and lack of basic social benefits in large parts of the country.

Of the total population of just over 35 million people living more than one third in extreme poverty and over six million are dependent on relief.

The Afghans are extremely resistant, but in need of trade, jobs and income.
