The land

Eighty jerib of flat, canal-irrigated arable on the fertile Balkh plain, historically under wheat and cotton. Contiguous, unbroken frontage to an all-weather road, with the scale for mechanised farming, an agri-logistics play, or a master-planned residential community near the northern trade corridor.

Highlights

  • Contiguous 80-jerib block, fully arable
  • Canal irrigation from the Balkh river system
  • All-weather road frontage
  • Scale for a master-planned community

The investment case

Rare contiguous scale on the fertile Balkh plain with all-weather road frontage, offering genuine optionality across mechanised agriculture, agri-logistics, or a phased master-planned community.
