There are many areas within Afghanistan
where the plough has been carved from a
branch of a tree, the yoke likewise.
200m2/day can be the maximum
area ploughed!

Agricultural production must be
increased through access to an
appropriate technology option, small
tractors and ancillary equipment most
suited to the type and area of land.
· Vulnerable farmers should have access to
training, agricultural inputs and
services (tools for agriculture, seed,
irrigation, pest control, animal health,
micro-finance), either through direct
distribution or interventions designed
to stimulate choice.
