Afghanistan Economic information

Afghanistan is a country located in Central Asia and its economy is largely based on agriculture. The country's agricultural sector accounts for approximately half of the GDP and provides the majority of employment. Major agricultural products include grain, fruit, vegetables, cotton, sheep and goats. Afghanistan also has great potential for the mining sector. Underground resources in the country include iron ore, copper, gold, lithium, oil and natural gas. However, to use the full potential of these resources, the country's security situation must be stable. The industrial sector in the country is quite limited and is generally based on agriculture and mining sectors. It also operates in some sub-sectors such as construction, textile, food processing and handicrafts. Afghanistan's economy has faced great difficulties due to many years of wars and civil conflicts. In addition, factors such as the country's infrastructure deficiencies, corruption, security problems and low education levels also negatively affect economic development. In recent years, there has been some improvement in the economic situation with international aid and investments. However, in order for the country to maintain its economic stability, studies need to be carried out in areas such as more investments, infrastructure development, security provision and raising the level of education.
