  Afghanistan's western region is known for its quality pistachio. Pistachio saplings have recently been distributed for plantation in Badghis province to support local farmers.

  QALA-E-NAW, Afghanistan, April 18 (Xinhua) -- More than 25,000 pistachio saplings have been distributed for plantation in Afghanistan's western Badghis province, the local government has said.

  It said the young trees were distributed over the past six days as part of its efforts to fight deforestation and support farmers in the provincial capital Qala-e-Naw and suburban districts.

  The saplings have been grown for one year in a research farm near Qala-e-Naw, the local government said in a statement on Saturday.

  The move comes after heavy logging by locals in the natural pistachio forests in the province in recent years.

  The local area of pistachio forests is now below 30,000 hectares, compared with over 90,000 hectares in the past, while local farmers have reportedly planted nearly 4 hectares of land with pistachio trees over the last one decade, said the local government statement.
