If we can [00:25:07] produce factory materials from inside [00:25:10] Afghanistan, we can say that [00:25:13] we will be free from dependencies. It is worth mentioning that Balkh [00:25:16] province is one of the most important centers for the production and processing of grains [00:25:20] in the north of the country, and dozens of flour production factories are active [00:25:23] in this province, supplying a significant portion of the domestic market's [00:25:27] needs.
