The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock (MAIL) of Afghanistan, through the National Horticulture and Livestock Program (NHLP), distributed 20 greenhouses to a number of farmer families in Khost province.
Each of the greenhouses worth 30,000 AFN [400 USD] were distributed to strengthen the economy of the households.
The aim of the greenhouses’ distribution is to produce fresh vegetables in winter season and in large-scale to prevent malnutrition of mothers and children.
These greenhouses also enable families to earn a good income by selling their vegetables.
Last year, MAIL had distributed greenhouses for 50 farmer families as well.
