Afghanistan’s grape harvest is bountiful, but farmers in Kandahar are reeling as border clashes with Pakistan have severed their main export route—leaving tons of fruit stranded. With domestic markets flooded and prices crashing, growers like Sakhi Jan are turning grapes into raisins, only to see those too suffer steep price drops. Once a reliable income, now barely enough to feed families. The Kandahar Chamber of Commerce warns this crisis hits not just grapes—but pomegranates too, after last year’s record 44,000-ton grape export to Pakistan. As livelihoods crumble, farmers plead for borders to reopen before the harvest turns into another heartbreaking loss.
