📘August climate & agricultural outlook for Afghanistan

El Niño could create favorable condition for the 2026/27 agricultural season, but bring heightened climate risks. High fertilizer prices will determine whether farmers can seize that opportunity.

[FAO in Afghanistan @FAOAfghanistan]

Fertilizer is available in Afghanistan but many farmers cannot afford it.

@FAO is ready to scale up market-based support so farmers can access the inputs they need in time for planting.

The window for action is now.

📰Rising fertilizer prices threaten Afghanistan’s 2027 wheat harvest despite favourable prospects for the coming growing season.

@FAO seeks USD 38.3M to enable 600 000 farming families to access fertilizer & seed before critical planting window closes.
