Afghanistan Agricultural Inputs Project (AAIP)

Development Objective

Attain strengthened institutional capacity for safety and reliability of agricultural inputs and sustainable production of certified wheat seed. The development objective would be achieved through: (i) strengthening capacity in the value chain for producing certified wheat seed; (ii) preventing marketing of banned, hazardous, sub-standard, and unreliable pesticides and fertilizers; (iii) lowering the riskof introduction and spread of plant quarantine pests into the country; and (iv) improving farmers’ access to agricultural inputs ofreliable quality.
