Kabul Kangana Grape Storage - Afghanistan

A villager uses finished Kangana jars as molds to shape bowls for new ones in the northern outskirts of Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, Aug. 25, 2025. The Kangana, an ancient clay jar to preserve grapes, has been widely used in the rural outskirts north of Kabul. This century-old Afghan container enables grapes harvested in the heat of summer to stay fresh until the following spring. A Kangana is an ellipsoid formed by placing two bowl-shaped compoents face to face, with no apparent front or back side. Once sealed with mud around its brim, the jar becomes nearly airtight, functioning as a natural "vacuum storage container." In some Afghan villages, the Kangana was once used to store peppers and apples as well. Today, with these vegetables and fruits available year-round, grapes remain as the main object in its starage.

Tomato Harvest - Bangladesh

Workers are surrounded by heaps of vibrant red tomatoes, carefully sorting and boxing the produce for distribution. Farmers from nearby villages arrive with freshly harvested tomatoes, washed and organized for sale at the busy winter wholesale market. Juicy red tomatoes ripen under the Bangladesh sun as workers pick out the best fruits for sale. Then, the tomatoes are transported nationwide and often processed into ketchup and tomato paste. Workers meticulously package the fruit into crates, though each 25 kg batch sells for only about 10 USD, reflecting seasonal price dips. This market provides essential income for farmers, helping them cover summer planting costs and sustain their livelihoods. Bogura, Bangladesh, January 06, 2025.
