| dc.description.abstract | The growth in area, production and productivity of almonds, walnuts, grapes and apricots of Afghanistan were computed with the help of (CAGR) analysis. Secondary data for ten years (2007-16) on selected dry fruits production, harvesting area and productivity in Afghanistan was collected from FAOSTAT. Harvesting areas for all selected crops had increased during the mentioned period, while their production and productivity registered a negative CAGR except grapes. The CAGR for grapes production and productivity was (11.8%) and (7.1%) respectively. The marketing channels of dry fruits was analyzed with the help of primary data from farmers and intermediaries involved in marketing of dry fruits. Two separate marketing channels prevailed in Afghanistan for dry fruits trade, viz., domestic and export trade channels. Marketing costs and margins of dry fruits are calculated both in domestic trade and export trade and the producer’s share in consumer Afs was the highest for almonds (80.29%) followed by raisins in both marketing channels. The CAGR of the export of the selected dry fruits from Afghanistan was calculated for the period of (2007-16). The export growth rate for the walnuts, raisins and dry apricots registered a negative CAGR although the CAGR of almonds (shelled) recorded a positive growth (0.71%). Markov chain analysis on direction of dry fruits export from Afghanistan indicated that India and Pakistan were highly stable markets with retention probability of 0.90*1, while Canada, Germany, U.S.A. and other countries were highly unstable markets for Afghanistan’s dry fruits. | en_US |
