The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock announced is making efforts to achieve food self-sufficiency in the country.

The acting Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, Attaullah Omari, in a meeting in Ghor province, spoke of the arrival of Afghanistan's agricultural products in regional and European countries.

“Agriculture products, like Badakhshan and Takhar berries, have this year been exported to China and India,” said the acting minister.

The Chamber of Agriculture and Livestock said that in the current year, the exporters of agricultural products have suffered due to the blocking of the Torkham crossing and the mountain slide on the Kabul-Jalalabad highway.

“In the export sector, our traders were able to export, but recently, due to the blocking of the Torkham crossing and the mountain slide of the Kabul-Jalalabad Road, our traders could not export their goods. The businessman has suffered,” said Merwis Hajizada, deputy of the ministry.

Some political analysts said that if Afghanistan's agricultural lands are properly managed, the country has the capacity to produce various agricultural items.

“Afghanistan has 9.2 hectares of available land, if we use a large percentage of it, we can export more to other countries,” said Abdul Zuhor Mudabir, an economist.

“Agricultural products, if they are produced in a modern way and use technology, and if a proper marketing environment is provided inside and outside the country, can help the country's economy,” said Qutbudden Yaqubi, an economist.

Based on the information of the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock, most of Afghanistan's export items to neighboring countries, the region, and the world are agricultural products.
