Walsingham Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 It says it mostly in the thread header. Afghan grain harvest this year expected to be 4.6 million tonnes, resulting in a shortfall of half what it was under the Taliban. Afghans have been given new and more reliable seed strains, plus they now have access to foreign markets and *gasp* machinery. Other crops also on the rise as export material. I find this tremendously heartening, as Afghanistan was once regarded as a fruitful country. Indeed it used to grow the best wines in the world, even if now the grapes are only used for raisins.

Lare Kikkeli Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Also their poppy harvest is going pretty well, not as well as in 2003 but still.
Walsingham Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 Probably for similar reasons! "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe. RIP Hades/Sand/etc. Here's hoping your next alt has a harp.
Kaftan Barlast Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Not the best country for farming though, 90% of the country is a rocky desert.

Walsingham Posted August 8, 2007 Author Posted August 8, 2007 True, but it's amazing what they do with irrigation. Even if most of it was blown up or filled in during the Soviet occupation.
