    Crop production: Production of wheat and barley slightly improved in 2017 compared to previous year due better rainfall and improved access to agricultural land in some areas. Livestock: Over the past two years, the herd sizes have stabilized albeit at a very low level. Displacement: About two in five people are on the move inside the country. Humanitarian access: Overall, there is an improvement in terms of humanitarian access compared to last year with some of the “besieged areas” now consider ed “hard-to-reach”. Markets: Due to the overall improved security situation and opening of supply routes, trade is slowly recovering throughout the country and urban markets appear to function well.

    Cultivation of unknow variety of wheat from the grain market is one of the major reasons of low productivity of wheat in the smallholders’ fields. Usually, the variety grown by the smallholders is a mixture of grains of different varieties. The seed value of such a mixed variety is considered poor as grains had not been produced the requirements of good quality seed. The mixed nature of such a variety becomes obvious when plants matured. . There are a number of wheat varieties developed by this research institute which fits well with the region. These include Shams, Gozgon, Turkistan, Yaksart, Gallakor, and Hishorak. Good quality seed of these varieties are available from the institute.
