Today, USAID Mission Director Herbie Smith and the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock Minister Naseer Durrani launched two new value chain projects to improve Afghanistan’s agricultural sector. The main objectives of the programs are to drive job creation and increase rural incomes through support to key actors along the livestock and high value crops value chains. These programs will: (1) generate revenue and sustainable jobs; (2) increase the capacity of key value chain businesses; and (3) facilitate the ability of businesses to sell high quality products both domestically and internationally.
