== Economy == {{Further|Economy of Afghanistan}} [[File:Khoshi valley.jpg|thumb|The main river valley in the [[Khoshi District]] of Logar province. Extensive irrigation and canal works, known as [[karez]], provide water for the majority of the agriculture in southeastern Afghanistan.]] Logar is an agricultural province with a wealth of minerals such as copper and chromite. Many residents of the province are engaged in the agriculture and transport business. In terms of industry, the province has one textile and one copper factory. Agriculture, commerce and services, and livestock products account for the majority of commercial operations. Agriculture is a significant source of income for 31% of households. However, commerce and services provide income to 30% of rural households, while non-farm-related labor provides income to 46% of rural households. Tobacco and sugar extract are the two most important industrial crops. The main industry is honey production, which is a small industry. Jewelry, ceramics, and carpets are made in a small number of settlements. Eighty-four percent of the province's households have access to irrigated land. Wheat, maize, potatoes, alfalfa, clover, and other feed are among the most significant field crops. Sheep, cattle, camels, and poultry are the most frequent livestock.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Afghanistan Provincial Reconstruction Handbook |pages=107}}</ref>
