[00:02:03] An Islamic system has been established in the country and it is very welcome.
[00:03:00] A large part of this need is met by imports.
[00:03:04] The ministry also adds that in order to increase domestic grain production,
[00:03:07] improved seeds, chemical fertilizers, and technical
[00:03:11] advice are provided to farmers so that
[00:03:14] the level of domestic production increases and dependence on

[00:03:25] 57 percent compared to last year.
[00:03:28] After the closure of trade routes between Afghanistan and

[00:03:53] domestic grain production. Domestic production
[00:03:56] is still not fully responsive to the needs of

[00:04:09] Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is trying
[00:04:13] to increase domestic production
[00:04:16] through support programs such as distributing improved seeds, providing
[00:04:20] technical advice, and to become closer
[00:04:24] to self-sufficiency in the future. On the other hand, the Chamber of
[00:04:28] Agriculture and Livestock says that Afghanistan has
[00:04:32] vast lands for agriculture that can increase domestic
[00:04:35] production of wheat and grains and take significant steps towards
[00:04:39] self-sufficiency in this area through water management, distribution
[00:04:42] of improved seeds, and mechanization of agriculture.
[00:04:46] In Afghanistan, we have very high capacities. We have very
[00:04:50] vast and good lands for cultivating grains
[00:04:54] as well as wheat and other
[00:04:57] different plants. We also need to use
[00:05:01] new methods, such as using high-quality
[00:05:05] fertilizers and improved seeds,
[00:05:08] and good water management, as well as new agricultural methods.
