Yar Hussain (Pashto: یار حسین; Urdu: یار حسین) is one of the largest towns in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan, lying about 23km (14miles) from the district capital of Mardan and 82km (51miles) from the provincial capital of Peshawar.
Yar Hussain is the business centre of the surrounding locality, which includes the towns of Yaqubi, Sard Cheena, Terwatu, Sudher Yaqubi Shaheeda and Dobian.
It is also a major tobacco business centre. The tobacco produced is of a good quality. However, the rate[1] of return for the farmers is much lower, as compared to the profit margin for middlemen, companies and cigarette manufacturers.
