AIBAK (Pajhwok): A 28 percent drop has been estimated in wheat harvest in northern Samangan province this season despite cultivation of the crop on a nine percent more land, an official says.
Najibullah Joya, an official at the provincial agriculture, irrigation and livestock department, told Pajhwok Afghan News that dry spell was the main factor behind the drop in wheat harvest this year. He said wheat cultivated on thousands of hectares dried in many areas due to the lack of rains.
The affected areas include Qaflani, Koka . . .
