USAID, through its Afghanistan Vouchers for Increased Production in Agriculture (AVIPA) project, is helping farmers through a Farm Mechanization Program aimed at mid-sized farmers growing crops for the market from 18 provinces. Farmers apply for the program through the Provincial Departments of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock and, if accepted, receive a week-long hands-on training course on the operation and maintenance of the two-wheeled tractor and implements.

WOW that's great revolution in farm mechanization system in Afghanistan. yah this was a big challenge for the AVIPA Plus Mechanization team to introduce 1st time this new technology of mechanization to achieve this target of more then 4000 twts distributed in Afghanistan.

What is the consequence on unemployment? Does the machine put people out of work?

Kudos to the IRD/AVIPA Plus team! Nearly 4000 sets of two-wheel tractors and attachments sold in six months. Mind boggling!
