Afghan farmers struggle with market access, limiting productivity. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), supported by the World Bank, is strengthening agricultural value chains by improving input access and linking farmers to markets.

This approach is exemplified in Kapisa province, where an Afghan woman entrepreneur, Mahmooda, leads a local seed and soybean processing company. Awarded a World Bank grant, her business expands production, creates jobs, and improves market access, fostering private sector-led growth in Afghanistan's agrifood sector.
