Juice Factory Advances Afghanistan Agriculture

With a sip of fresh juice squeezed from Afghanistan’s sweet pomegranates, the Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock inaugurated Kabul’s new state-of-the-art agribusiness facility on October 15, 2009.  The Omaid Bahar Fruit Processing Company established the modern facility with the support of USAID.  The facility will produce and export juice concentrate and fresh fruit to countries in North America, Asia, and Europe.  “This is not just a juice machine, it is also a time machine,” said Minister Mohammad Asif Rahimi.  “It has taken us a few years into the future of Afghanistan.”
