A new Afghan business operating at Helmand’s Bolan Farm provides 30% of the eggs and 10% of the chickens eaten in the province, said Mohammad Asif Rahimi, Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation & Livestock (MAIL).

“Helmand consumers buy fresh, 100%-Afghan chickens and eggs, and no longer rely so much on imports,” Minister Rahimi said. Afghan investors run the poultry business started on MAIL property by a USAID-funded project begun in 2007. ARAZI, MAIL’s land-lease agency, provided a five-year lease to the investors after a competitive selection process.

“The Bolan Poultry Farm is a proven economic success and now it is owned by Afghan investors, hiring Afghan workers and making delicious food for Afghan families,” Minister Rahimi said. “MAIL and USAID always wanted this project to be taken over by the Afghan business sector and this dream has become a reality.”

The farm can produce up to 90,000 chicks and 750 tons of feed per month. Five distributors, five poultry veterinary clinics, 70 city outlets and 50 outlets in rural districts of Helmand carry poultry products originating from the farm. At last estimate, these coordinated poultry farms supplied 40 percent of Lashkar Gah’s broiler market and 25 percent of its egg market.

“Last year Afghanistan imported more than 60,000 tons of frozen and live chickens, and 40 million eggs,” Minister Rahimi said. “This is unacceptable and needs to be stopped, replaced by Afghan poultry products, raised on Afghan farms by Afghan families, creating jobs and ensuring food-security across Afghanistan.”

“Consumers know that the most nutritious, safest and freshest food comes from here in Afghanistan,” Minister Rahimi added. “Projects such as this make our businesses stronger, and the food that they produce makes our children stronger.”

I’ve been using my mum recipe, adding oyster sauce, milk, sesame oil and pepper. I love the honey glaze chicken from outside. Do you have a recipe for it?
