To understanding the current literature of the afghan marble industry:

Afghanistan is the land of desert plains mountain situation at the western end of the Himalaya rang .it is landlocked, is bordered by Iran to the west ,Turkmenistan ,Uzbekistan and , Tajikistan to the north and northeast , Pakistan to the east and south and by china in the extreme northeast by the Walkman corridor in 2008 .Afghanistan’s geographical position places it to the crossroads between the middle east and Asia ,Europe and India ,and between northern Europe, Russian and the India ocean .Afghanistan as a result of its geo-strategic location , is not only an important connection point for the development of political ,economic and culture relations ;but also hold special important in the area due to its extraordinarily rich natural resources (http:www.mom.gov.af/index .php) .Afghanistan was never a developed country or a place of enlightenment ,but at least in the pre-war year of the 1960s and 1970s a number of development project were reasonable successful in the cold-war confrontation between the soviets and the west the subsequent quarter century of conflict involved the well-known communist coup, soviet invasion ,mujahedeen center –insurgency, soviet defeat and withdrawal. Civil war, repressive Taliban take over, al-Qaida terrorism .and a new invasion by the Weston coalition led by the USA in year 2008 .as a result of all these consequences and decades of conflict almost all sectored become down. Mineral resources that theoretically form a considerable part the economy were left undeveloped especially the marble with great supply potential to the regional market. Despite Afghanistan’s wealth of natural resources and critical geographic location, it still has not developed, and remains one of the poorest countries of the world. We must admit the problem has its main roots in the previous economic systems of the country. Exploration and geological studies of only ten percent of the territory have discovered abundant deposits of many precious and semi-precious industrial minerals including marble. Provided that these geological studies are extended to cover the entire country, it is a virtual certainty that they will reveal the country’s natural resource riches are far beyond those known to us today (http://www.mom.gov.af/index.php).

The product of marbles in provinces of Afghanistan

Inside of Afghanistan regarding the survey and research department of AISA we have 21 factories producing marbles in Afghanistan but there output and income is not satisfied up to know the biggest threat is exporting to Pakistan as rough And then these marbles are processing and coming back to Afghanistan and this transportation will badly affect the economy of Afghanistan and this imported marble dominates the market as local product are unable to compare the low price and high quality .as Afghanistan's industry suffers from a lack of adequate equipment, has little technical knowledge, and user poor extraction method that often significant reduce the value of the marble and the extraction is performing but the blasting techniques which is like black powder typically imported from Pakistan these cause micro-fracturing throughout the entire quarry and resulting up to 50% of the wastage at the quarrying stage further wastage accrue at the marbles factored where blocks after break up during the cutting and polishing stages of the production .
