AIBAK (Pajhwok): Wheat production has increased in northern Samangan province this year and can meet demand of the province, an official said Wednesday.
Provincial agriculture director Noor Mohammad told Pajhwok Afghan News that 110,000 hectares of land was cultivated with wheat this year which produced 102,000 tons of crops, registering 10 percent increase compared to last year.
He linked the hike in the crop to on time rain and elimination of damaging grasshoppers.
Mohammad said that Samangan province was this year self-sufficient . . .
