The Afghan economy is primarily based on agriculture, with about 70% of the population engaged in farming. Key crops include wheat, corn, and fruits, which are vital for both local consumption and export. However, the economy faces challenges such as ongoing conflict, limited infrastructure, and reliance on foreign aid. In addition to agriculture, the economy has significant contributions from the mining sector, particularly in minerals like copper and lapis lazuli. Despite these resources, economic growth remains hindered by political instability and security issues, making it difficult for businesses to thrive and for the population to achieve sustainable livelihoods.
