GHAZNI PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Service members with the Texas Agribusiness Development Team and representatives from the United States Agency for International Development paid a visit to grape farmers in Ghazni province last week.

The group visited to check on newly-built trellises in the vineyards, and noted that the grapes grown on these trellises were healthier, larger, more bountiful and more likely to sell at a higher price than those not grown on trellises.

Due to difficulties among farmers trying to export the grapes, and ISAF service members and USAID members scheduled a meeting with produce exporters and juice companies for later this month.
