Nepal-funded greenhouse built in Kabul

A greenhouse to grow fruit has been constructed with Nepal's financial support in Kabul's Paghman district, the Afghan Agriculture Irrigation and Livestock Ministry said on Saturday.

With a capacity of 60 tons, the greenhouse was built by the $36,000 provided by Nepal within the framework of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc), Xinhua news agency reported.

The ministry has so far built more than 2,800 greenhouses across the country to grow vegetables and fruits.
