Bamiyan is hosting an exhibition where female entrepreneurs and artisans from various provinces display their local products near the iconic Buddha statues.
Over 180 booths feature handicrafts, dairy products, artworks, and more. Officials emphasized Bamiyan’s support for growing local industries and enabling exports.
Organizer Khyber Hiwadmal noted that 80% of the booths are run by women. Participants highlighted the benefits of such exhibitions but also expressed needs like reliable electricity for further development.
The exhibition will run for five days, with plans for similar events in other provinces and abroad.
