This image depicts a pomegranate processing facility in Sard-E 'olya, Afghanistan. Overhead, a large white and red banner features the Pashto text "میلکو د انارو پروسیس کمپنۍ" (Milko Pomegranate Processing Company), accompanied by images of pomegranates and various pomegranate-derived products such as arils, juice, and paste. Below the banner, inside an open-air or partially enclosed industrial space, approximately five individuals are actively engaged in processing. They wear matching dark maroon or brown uniforms, light blue or green face masks, and hairnets; some also wear pink gloves and white rubber boots. To the left, stainless steel industrial sinks or tables are visible. In the center-right, a worker sits on a stool, appearing to operate machinery that includes a red cylindrical component and associated piping. Another worker stands to the far right, next to a long stainless steel table. Other workers are visible in the background, also engaged with equipment. The foreground is dominated by a large ground-level area filled with rows of light red mesh bags, each containing pomegranates. These bags are neatly arranged in a grid pattern, extending across the visible width of the frame and into the distance. The overall scene suggests an active industrial operation focused on pomegranate processing and packaging.
