More than 3,000 Women are engaged in Agriculture in Balkh
The Ministry of Agriculture, through National Horticulture and Livestock Project »"NHLP", has provided farm work for more than 3,000 women in the center and 12 districts of the province.
These women work in Greenhouses which are created by the Ministry of Agriculture, through the Ministry of Agriculture's National Horticulture and Livestock Project.
The Ministry of Agriculture trained all women in all methods of growing, Cultivating, and Harvesting different types of Vegetables and their processing.
Most of these women, who suffered from lack of employment opportunities, are now working with the men of their families to become breadwinners in their own homes and to raise the finances of their families.
The Ministry of Agriculture, through its National Horticulture and Livestock Project, has distributed 16 types of Vegetable Seeds to these women, and has established Greenhouses of various sizes for a number of these women, as well as Vegetable and fruit processing centers.
A number of these women are emphasizing the expansion of the Ministry of Agriculture's assistance to women in the districts of the province.
They say, that one of the ways that women have been able to make a positive difference in their lives alongside the men of the family has been working on the farm and in the home gardens.
It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Agriculture, through the National Horticulture and Livestock Project "NHLP" has already provided these services to thousands of women in other provinces, which has had good results.
