SHEBERGHAN (PAN): A decline in wheat production this year has sent prices soaring in northern Jawzjan province, officials said on Sunday.
This year’s wheat production in the province was nearly 90,000 tonnes, compared with 110,000 tonnes in 2012, an Agriculture Department official said.
Syed Massoud told Pajhwok Afghan News annual wheat consumption of the province was 122,000 tonnes, forcing the import of 32,000 tonnes.
