Khost Province, located in southeastern Afghanistan, is renowned for its vast forests and high-quality pine nuts, known locally as "chilgoza." These nuts are collected from the mountains and forests of Khost and are highly valued both domestically and internationally. The pine nut harvest season brings jobs and economic opportunities for many residents, as the nuts are cleaned, dried, and packed for export. With proper investment and attention, Khost can further expand its role in Afghanistan's export economy through this valuable natural resource.
