Once the center of the Ghord Dynasty, Ghor today is sparsely populated with a Tajik majority. Its pasturelands are ideal for grazing, and livestock is the chief source of income for its residents. Ghor also has a smaller agricultural economy that produces grain crops, nuts, fruit, and honey. The need for basic services has become more pronounced in recent years as many unskilled displaced people have returned to the province from neighboring areas.
