| Description: |
This study examines the income sources and expenditure patterns of farmers in the four districts of Kabul province: Paghman, Shakar Dara, Kalakan, Mirbacha Kot. The main objective of the research is to identify the factors affecting farmers' income and expenditures and to propose solutions for improving their economic situation. The study employed a survey method, collecting data through interviews and questionnaires. The findings reveal that farmers' incomes primarily come from agriculture and secondary activities such as livestock farming and wage labor, while their expenditures include living and production costs. Challenges such as limited access to improved seeds, water shortages, and high production costs have negatively impacted farmers' income and economic sustainability. Based on the findings, improving access to agricultural inputs, developing irrigation systems, enhancing farmers' skills, and strengthening market access are among the proposed strategies to increase farmers' incomes and reduce their expenses, ultimately contributing to the economic improvement and sustainable agricultural development in the region. |
