    In his address at the ceremony, the Deputy Prime Minister highlighted the significance of such exhibitions in promoting national products and facilitating marketing opportunities. He underscored that governments worldwide organize exhibitions, both domestically and internationally, to showcase and commercialize their goods—an initiative the Islamic Emirate has embraced. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, exhibitions not only stimulate a country’s trade but also foster investment prospects in the agricultural sector.

    Acknowledging Afghanistan’s ample agricultural lands and water resources for irrigation, the Deputy Prime Minister noted that despite these advantages, agricultural productivity remains subpar. To address this, the Deputy PM for Economic Affairs Office, in collaboration with field experts, has initiated the formulation of a comprehensive national development strategy. Once endorsed by Amir-ul-Momineen Sheikh-ul-Hadith Mawlawi Hibatullah Akhundzada, this strategy will be implemented to enhance the agricultural sector.

    Addressing the opening session of the agricultural products exhibition, Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanafi, Deputy Prime Minister for Administration, expressed the Islamic Emirate’s full support for every aspect of the agricultural sector.  Mr. Hanafi highlighted the Emirate’s particular emphasis on water management, recognizing its crucial role in ensuring regular access to water resources throughout the country. Mr. Hanafi emphasized that agriculture and livestock are vital sources of livelihood for 80 percent of the population, and strengthening the agricultural sector would directly benefit farmers.

    Mawlawi Abdul Kabir, Political Deputy Prime Minister of the IEA, graced the opening ceremony of the 30th Farmer’s Fair and Agricultural Products Exhibition today.

    In his address, the Political Deputy expressed heartfelt condolences to the farmers who suffered losses due to recent floods and natural disasters. He offered prayers for the martyrs’ heavenly abode and urged patience for their grieving families. The Deputy extended gratitude to all hardworking Afghan farmers for their relentless efforts in strengthening the country’s economy.

    Mawlawi Abdul Kabir emphasized that agriculture serves as the backbone of Afghanistan’s economy, with agricultural products forming a significant portion of the country’s exports and overall production. He stressed that supporting farmers and promoting agricultural products is a collective responsibility. Over the past few decades, Afghanistan’s institutions have been severely impacted by wars and invasions, and adequate attention has not been given to their restoration. The Political Deputy highlighted the need to explore suitable markets in the region and around the world, ensuring Afghanistan’s products meet international standards and reach global markets.

    Efforts to improve water supply, establish a regulated water distribution system, construct and repair canals and dams, and facilitate farmers’ product development were outlined as priorities of the Islamic Emirate. Maulvi Abdul Kabir highlighted the significant investment potential and opportunities within the agricultural sector, urging both domestic and foreign companies and investors to consider investing in this field.

    Mawlawi Abdul Kabir conveyed the Islamic Emirate’s commitment to strengthening the agriculture and livestock sector, aiming to lead Afghanistan towards self-sufficiency. While acknowledging the neglect of previous Afghan rulers, he emphasized the Emirate’s focus on rehabilitating existing facilities as a step toward progress and development.
