Wheat production in Afghanistan

Wheat production in Afghanistan

Wheat is central to Afghan agriculture, covering most of the country’s farmland and providing over two-thirds of the daily caloric intake for the average family. Since 2021, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has reached nearly 2.3 million Afghan smallholder households through its wheat cultivation programme, benefitting upwards of 16.1 million people across the country. This large-scale, timely support has played a critical role in improving the availability of staple foods and helping to reverse acute food insecurity. This video follows that impact through the story of Noor Ahmed, a farmer in Kandahar. From planting the first seeds to harvesting golden fields and preparing fresh bread at home, Noor’s journey captures the wider transformation unfolding across Afghanistan.
