QALA-I-NAW CITY (Pajhwok): Some livestock farmers in western Badghis province have said they cannot continue raising animals due to a fodder shortage and price hike.
The farmers urged the interim government for assistance in providing fodder for their animals.
A farmer, Ibrahim, said the price of hay had tripled this year. The man is concerned he could be forced to sell his herd at throwaway prices.
Ibrahim added: “Each of my brothers has a herd of 30 sheep. A bag of hay cost 150 afs in the past but the price has no jumped to 500 afs.”
