Introduction:
First of all Thank you Prempavee for welcoming to this platform.
We (Soverieng Farmers) are a group of native farmers, from Pakistan and Afghanistan. From Southern planes of Afghanistan to Hindu Kush and up until the inaccessible mountainous terrain of PAMIR ranges of Gilgit. We are working with Cannabis plant first hand in Tribal regions where Cannabis has thrived for centuries. We have started this initiative first via Instagram and with the help of a distribution partner in USA to uplift the associates of cannabis who work day and night to preserve the culture and heritage of the cannabis plant.
Our process of strategic planning and handpicked selections where possible which eliminates unnecessary variations to guarantee consistency. We are on our journey of continuous evolution and commitment to deliver the most authentic landrace experience. We are fortunate to be surrounded by a talented and passionate team working tirelessly to reshape the market soon by opening broader adaptation and acceptance of landrace varieties. Placing them on par with modern cannabis strains
Hindu Kush Tirah Valley, 33°N, 2,100 meters above sea level

Geographically, it is characterized by steep slopes, deep valleys, and high-altitude terrain, making it a remote and challenging landscape. The valley is part of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and is known for its rich biodiversity and unique climatic conditions influenced by the Hindu Kush mountains. The area is historically significant and culturally rich, inhabited by tribal communities who have traditionally relied on agriculture and pastoralism adapted to the mountainous environment. The geography of Tirah Valley, with its natural fortifications and isolation, has also played a role in preserving indigenous landrace crops of Hash plants and traditional farming practices

The Hindu Kush region around Chitral, located in northern Pakistan, is characterized by rugged mountainous terrain forming part of the greater Hindu Kush mountain range. This area features steep peaks, deep valleys, and high-altitude plateaus. The geography is dominated by towering mountains often exceeding 7,000 meters, with glaciers, alpine meadows, and fast-flowing rivers carving through the landscape. The region’s climate varies from temperate in lower valleys to alpine and subarctic at higher elevations. Chitral’s geography supports diverse flora and fauna and has historically served as a natural barrier and cultural crossroads between Central and South Asia.

Durand Line, Pak/Afghan Border, 30°N, 2300meters above sea level
The Durand Line is an approximately 2,600-kilometer (1,600-mile) international border that separates Afghanistan and Pakistan. It stretches from the snow-capped Pamir Mountains in the north down to the Arabian Sea in the south. Established during British colonial rule in 1893, the line divides the Pashtun tribal areas and has been a source of geopolitical tension, as it has never been officially recognized by the Afghan government. The border cuts through diverse terrains including mountainous regions, tribal lands, and desert areas, significantly impacting the cultural and political landscape of both countries. The selections we have done are from a place known as Toba Achakzai mountain ranges which stretches deep into the Kandahar territory of Afghanistan from the Baluchistan Border.
