Local Taliban officials in Herat, Afghanistan, have reported a projected grape harvest of 180,000 tons for this year, surpassing the previous year's 160,000 tons. This data, derived from the Taliban governor's press office in Herat, reflects an upward trend in the region's production.
The press release dated Sunday, 20 July 2025, communicates this production increase, adding to Herat's reputation for producing grapes in Afghanistan. Despite this rise in yield, farmers encounter persistent challenges. Last season, Herati farmers highlighted the absence of a suitable market for their grapes as a pressing issue, indicating continued obstacles in connecting with buyers.
