KABUL, July 4 (Xinhua) The Afghan Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock (MAIL) has constructed 45 dense gardens in eastern Nangarhar province in the latest efforts to revive horticulture in the land-locked country, the ministry said on Sunday. The MAIL has built 45 dense-orchards, including lemon and clementine, on more than 100 acres of land in Behsood, Bati Kot, Kuzkunar and Kama districts of Nangarhar over the past two years, the ministry said in a statement. These gardens will bear fruit for the next three years. These gardens are professionally constructed and are very different from the gardens which are traditionally built. Dense-orchards produce after two years, but orchards which are traditionally built by the peasants take about five years to bear fruit. Dense-orchards are 20 times more productive than traditional orchards, the statement said.
