From the American People
The project is directed at reducing poverty among rural Afghan farmers by dramatically increasing the productivity of existing vineyards and the conversion of former wheat, poppy, and cornfields to more profitable orchards and vineyards. In the south – Kandahar, Uruzgan, Hilmand, and Zabul provinces – the project focuses on trellising existing vineyards, which is expected to double the farmers’ income within two years. Through the life of this project, farmers will contribute $4.5 million of their own funds to pay the costs of the new orchards and vineyards. USAID also promotes export and trade corridors, and works with farmers to improve quality, and with traders to improve harvesting, packing, cooling, and shipping methods.
