LOGAR, Afghanistan - A production company named Salma, located in the center of Logar province, is making a notable contribution to local manufacturing by producing approximately 1,300 kilograms of pipes on a daily basis. This output covers a range of pipe sizes, from half an inch to 5 inches, all crafted from high-quality materials that are sourced both from imports and domestic suppliers. The pipes are particularly suited for use in large and deep wells, addressing specific infrastructure and agricultural needs in the region.
Haji Ghulam Mohammad, who serves as the official responsible for the Salma company, has spoken about the impact of the factory on the local community. He indicated that the operation provides direct and indirect employment opportunities to around 45 people. This level of job creation is significant in the provincial context, helping families and contributing to economic activity.
In addition to discussing the company's achievements, Mohammad and other employees at the Salma factory have issued a call to traders and investors. They are encouraging greater levels of investment in domestic production facilities. Such investments, they argue, would not only expand the capacity of local industries but also generate more job opportunities specifically targeted at the youth.
The Salma company is part of a larger industrial landscape in Logar province, where approximately 85 production factories and companies are currently in operation. These businesses are engaged in the manufacturing of both food and non-food items. Their collective efforts have resulted in a substantial decrease in the volume of goods that need to be imported into the province, promoting a degree of self-sufficiency.
This development in Logar highlights the potential for industrial growth, with local production gradually reducing reliance on foreign supplies and fostering employment across the province.
