Description

On 21 July 1972, Afghanistan launched a national program to modernize food storage facilities in rural areas. The initiative aimed to reduce losses caused by pests, spoilage, and outdated granary structures. Agricultural specialists surveyed villages to determine storage needs and recommended improved designs. Training sessions taught farmers how to maintain the new facilities. The program supported food security during a period of broader agricultural reform.
