Afghanistan produces an estimated 10,000 tonnes of fish every year, an official said on Monday, admitting that such low production won't meet the country's consumption levels. Fish farms and marine fisheries produce 10,000 tonnes of fish every year, which is consumed inside the country, said Head of Livestock Department at Ministry of Agriculture Sayed Majdod Raihan. 'However this level of fish production won't suffice to fulfill domestic consumption needs,' he said.
