Description Livestock production is an important contributor to livelihoods within rural areas and accounts for close
to half of Afghanistan’s agricultural GDP. Key constraints to ruminant production are insufficient feed
stocks, lack of access to seed of improved forage varieties, poorly developed feed and seed markets, and
insufficient knowledge among producers and service providers (GIRoA, 2009). This paper provides brief
information on the current state of the livestock and forage production in Afghanistan.
