The Taliban's Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation, and Livestock has announced that a delegation from the ministry has traveled to China.
The purpose of the visit is to gain insights from China's advancements in the agricultural sector and to participate in a trilateral meeting involving the Taliban, Pakistan, and China.
According to the ministry's press release on Saturday, August 31, the delegation will attend a ten-day meeting in the city of Xi. During this time, the Taliban representatives will familiarize themselves with China's agricultural developments and the country's achievements in attaining self-sufficiency in this field.
The ministry also noted that the delegation will tour China's agricultural facilities and examine the country's farming equipment.
Currently, Afghanistan relies on imported wheat and flour, which are supplied by other countries. The Taliban's Ministry of Agriculture had earlier announced plans to purchase surplus wheat from local farmers and store it to help stabilize market prices.
This visit marks an effort by the Taliban to explore international agricultural practices and potentially strengthen Afghanistan's agricultural sector through collaboration with China.
