THE PROJECT SEEKS TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE HIGH VALUE LICIT CROPS AND THEREBY DETER THE CULTIVATION OF POPPY IN THESE PROVINCES.

SUPPLYING BETTER QUALITY PRODUCTS WILL INCREASE INCOME TO CBARD SUPPORTED EXPORTERS & PROMOTE LICIT COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES IN ACTIVE POPPY PRODUCING REGIONS. 5807448 THE AGRICULTURE MARKETING PROGRAM (AMP) IS FUNDED BY USAID & WORKS IN 11 PROVINCES OF AFGHANISTAN, FOCUSING ON INCREASING FARM PRODUCTION & DOMESTIC SALES THROUGH INTERVENTIONS AIMED AT FARMERS & AGRIBUSINESS.
