KUNDUZ CITY/SHIBERGHAN (PAN): A remarkable increase was seen in watermelon production in northern Kunduz province this year when the crop was damaged by flies in Jawzjan province, growers and officials said on Saturday.
His one acre of land had produced 20-30 watermelons due to pest attacks in 2012, but the same area yielded 1,000 to 1,200 watermelons this year, a grower from Chahar Dara district, Khair Mohammad, told Pajhwok Afghan News.
