AF:Agricultural Inputs Project opera em Afeganistão.
The objective of the Afghanistan Agricultural Inputs Project is to strengthen institutional capacity for safety and reliability of agricultural inputs and sustainable production of certified wheat seed. This paper pertains to the provision of a grant for the project. The grant will help finance the costs associated with improving the wheat seed value chain; preventing marketing of banned, hazardous, sub-standard, and unreliable pesticides and fertilizers, lowering the risk of introduction and spread of quarantine pests into the country, and improving the reliability of sanitary and phytosanitary certification systems for export commodities; and improving farmers' access to agricultural inputs of reliable quality. The grant is expected to finance a number of works including office buildings, farm structures, laboratory buildings and plant quarantine stations.
