Mawlavi Sadrazam Osmani, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock of the Taliban administration, has called on seed-producing companies to provide improved and certified seeds to farmers at reasonable prices. He stated that this measure could pave the way for increased wheat production.<\/p>\n
The Press Office of the Ministry of Agriculture announced that Osmani considers the production and supply of high-quality seeds as a key factor in enhancing agricultural yields and strengthening the country’s food security. He emphasized that farmers’ access to quality seeds directly impacts the improvement of production levels.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, participants discussed the pricing of seeds, distribution methods across different regions, and ways to strengthen cooperation between producers and relevant institutions. Improving farmers’ access to improved seeds was highlighted as a main topic of discussion.<\/p>\n
In conclusion, the expansion of collaboration between seed-producing companies and related institutions was stressed, with participants expressing readiness for greater coordination to develop and distribute quality seeds. However, farmers have consistently complained about the high costs of agricultural inputs in recent years, and the implementation of these commitments will serve as a test of the Taliban administration’s attention to the practical challenges faced by the agricultural sector.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
