The distribution of improved wheat seeds and chemical fertiliser to farmers has begun in Afghanistan’s Badakhshan province. The programme is expected to provide agricultural assistance to 6,450 farmers in districts across the province.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock and partner organisations are delivering the aid. The programme was launched in the eighth district of Faizabad city.
Engineer Nasir Ahmad Ahmadi, head of agricultural affairs at the Badakhshan Department of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock, highlighted the importance of using improved seeds. He said the distributed seeds are treated with chemicals and should be used only for planting.
