About
USAID Commercial Horticulture & Agriculture & Marketing Program, Afghanistan: The Commercial, Agricultural & Marketing Program (CHAMP) began in February 2010 and will continue through 2019, $71.3 million dollar activity that will reduce poverty among rural Afghan farmers by assisting them to shift from relatively low-value annual crops, such as wheat, to relatively high-value perennial crops, such as almonds, grapes and pomegranates. A marketing program will support the increased production by linking producers to merchants in a system that rewards farmers and merchants for higher quality production with higher prices and profits; working with farmers to improve quality and with traders to improve harvesting, packing, cooling, shipping and marketing methods. To insure that women specifically benefit, and to encourage equal opportunities for women, CHAMP is implementing a pilot women's program, focusing on home garden and poultry rearing. CHAMP is implementing programs in 16 provinces in the Eastern, South Eastern, and Southern and Central regions of Afghanistan.
