KANDAHAR, Afghanistan, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) -- Raisin, one of Afghanistan's leading agricultural export products, is made by dehydrating fresh grapes. Most raisins in Afghanistan come from Kandahar province, with the farmers selling them directly at wholesale marketplaces.
Famous for its grapes and pomegranates, Kandahar also annually exports thousands of fresh and dried fruits including raisins and figs.
