A three-day exhibition of domestic products titled “Orange Blossom” has been launched by a private company in the eastern province of Nangarhar.
According to organizers, the exhibition, which features 160 booths, aims to market locally made goods.
Masood Haqmal, the organizer of the exhibition, said: “Industrialists and traders from various sectors have taken booths in this exhibition and are showcasing their products.”
Sayed Abdul Basir Pacha, the head of Nangarhar’s Industry and Commerce Department, said: “The goal of this exhibition is to help local products reach international markets.”
Meanwhile, several industrialists not only seek market access but also demand more facilities and support for domestic production.
Participants of the Orange Blossom exhibition said that organizing such events positively contributes to the growth of local industries.
Masiullah, an exhibitor at the event, told “The government must do more to support entrepreneurs, such as stopping the import of low-quality medicines into the market.”
Abdul Rahman Jumazai, another exhibitor, said: “We have invested from our own pockets, but the banking system needs to be strengthened so that people can access loans.”
Local officials in Nangarhar have assured investors and industrialists that they will facilitate investment opportunities in the province.
Azizullah Mustafa, the deputy governor of Nangarhar, stated: “We have assured and will continue to assure traders that we are cooperating with them in every area so they can invest in the country and contribute to its development.”
This comes as similar exhibitions have recently been held in various provinces to promote domestic products, with a positive impact reported.
