Afghan Agricultural Trade Fair- April 22-23,

AATF recently concluded and was considered by all to be a great
success. Organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and
Livestock, Afghan International Chamber of Commerce and the
Accelerating Sustainable Agriculture Program, AATF was the first
national level agro trade fair held in recent memory. The location was
at the newly built expo site at MoAI&L's Badam Bhag farm. Over 200
national and international exhibitors were present including farmers,
farmer groups, agribusiness, government agencies, projects, and NGOs
who are working towards agricultural development in Afghanistan.
Estimated attendance was in the 10s of thousands. It also included
demonstrations of the latest farming techniques such as plastic mulch
and drip irrigation, laser land leveling, reduced till and zero till
equipment and machinery (both four and two-wheel tractors), and a
"Knowledge Center" where presentations were given on latest
agro-technologies and services. Also on display were agro-vet, cold
storage, processing equipment and value added end products such as
canned fruits and vegetables. Success of this fair has the organizers
talking of a quick follow up "harvest fair" to be held in the coming
fall season.
