KABUL, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- The harvest season for cotton has come in Afghanistan. The crop grows in about 900 hectares of farmland in the war-torn country's southern Kandahar province, local officials said.

Meanwhile, farmers are still busy collecting grapes in the eastern Parwan province, where, according to local officials, grape is cultivated on 6,500 hectares of farmland, and so far this year over 53,000 tons of grapes have been collected, the same as the previous year.
