Abstract

Afghanistan's handicraft industry has enormous potential for economic development. The main purpose of this study is to determine the handicraft industry's Role in Afghanistan's economic development. The study was conducted in two provinces of Afghanistan, Bamyan and Balkh, and targeted the entrepreneurs, craftsmen, and workers directly and indirectly involved in this industry. A convenient sampling technique has done for the data analysis. It is a nonprobability sampling technique involving the sample being drawn from that part of the population that is convenient, easily accessible and proximate to the researcher. This study found that Afghanistan handicrafts fulfil international demand rather than domestic demand. In addition, the organization exporting Afghanistan handicraft products in the international market are generally both manufacturers and exporters. They produce and export the product to the international market. Likewise, this study found that innovation and modern technology still have less usage during producing handicrafts in Afghanistan, and people still use traditional tools for producing handicrafts.
