Description

On 16 August 1971, Afghan agricultural planners launched an initiative to improve seed storage systems across rural districts. Poor storage conditions frequently led to mold, spoilage, and loss of viable seeds. Officials introduced improved storage structures and training sessions for farmers. The initiative aimed to support long-term food security by protecting seed quality. It marked a key step toward modernizing agricultural logistics.
