Role of Wheat in Afghanistan's Food Security Paperback / softback
Edited by Merrill E Patterson, Charley D Hughes
Paperback / softback
Description
Wheat is a key staple food in Afghanistan, accounting for over half of the caloric intake of the population.
It is also Afghanistan's major crop, accounting for roughly 70 percent of the cultivated land area.
However, the country's domestic production of wheat is inadequate for meeting demand and, moreover, is subject to sizeable weather induced fluctuations.
Imports from surrounding countries have been required in order for Afghanistan to meet its need for wheat.
This book discusses the role of wheat in Afghanistan's food security.
