Afghanistan Expands Marble Industry
Hidden in the rugged mountains of the Hindu Kushand the Pamir, Afghan marble and stone is an emerging industry that can bring value to global investors, wealth to Afghan communities, and treasures to discerning world consumers. With 35 known types of marble in 40 different colors, Afghanistan is slowly expanding its marble industry as part of a larger effort to increase mining of various minerals throughout the country.
On March 23-26, 2009 the Afghanistan Marble and Granite Processors Association will host the Afghan Marble and Stone Conference at the Serena Hotel in Kabul where investment opportunities in the mining sector will be presented and discussed. (Informational flyer available here.)
