Farmers urged have the ministry to implement the system properly.

“The drip irrigation is good because it reaches all parts of a plant,” Zahra, a farmer in Kabul said.

"It has many advantages. The Government should develop the system. It benefits our products,” said Sher Zaman, another farmer.

Agricultural affairs analyst Yasin Farahman said the drip irrigation should replace the traditional system across the country.

“Drip irrigation is a technical system therefore all farmers cannot use it. There is a need to train farmers in the use of the system,” said Farahmand.
