Afghanistan ministry of agriculture and livestock said that India has committed to contribute some 170,000 tons of wheat to Afghanistan, part of 500 thousand tons it had earlier promised to provide for the poverty suffered nation.
Afghanistan, according to the ministry’s spokesperson, Lutfullah Mashal who was speaking to media evaluates the aids very important during the current critical condition, amid the country’s needs to import 1.3 million of wheat from other countries to complete its total need of over six million tons each year.
The spokesman said currently, the ministry has 9 wheat stocks, used only in emergency situation.
Recently, Afghanistan ministry of finance said India had previously committed to donate 170,000 tons of wheat to Afghanistan, which has arrived in the country in two phases, via the Iranian Bandar Abbas (Abbas Port.)
Economic expert and University teacher, Saifuddin Saihoon told The Kabul Times that India was among the biggest aid providing countries to Afghanistan in different fields of economic and security and that the aids flown from the friendly country shouldn’t be ignored.
“Afghanistan—even a landlocked—but, is a countrywith proper agricultural lands and good natural reassures. It can grow any types of fruits as well,” said Saihoon who blamed the ministry of agriculture for having lacked of enough capability to launch effective programs.
But, another expert confirming the aids coming from India to could tackle some economic challenges of the people in short-term, believed as in long-term, asked the government particularly to do its best to stand on its economic feet, through launching effective agriculture programs, with the government he asked torun other economic and productive fields to help the Afghan people get rid of needs from other countries.
Meantime, the ministry of agriculture and livestock said it had prepared a program for self-sufficiency of the country in terms of sufficient wheat provision, which would help the country stand on its feet by 2022 (inthe next six years), though, the ministry’s authorities have earlier assured the people for helping them reach the goal, (including the irrigation and wheat supply spheres) in short-term, if the government allocatesit enough budget.
Despite, high capacities of Afghanistan in the field of agriculture, through accessing wide farming lands, there is a need for importing most part of their wheat needs from other countries.
