About Company
About DAI/AVC-HVC: Afghanistan Value Chains – High-Value Crops (AVC-HVC) is a market-oriented project that operates throughout the country, with offices in Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif, Jalalabad, and Kandahar. AVC-HVC promotes sustainable agriculture-led economic growth, in line with the Ministry of Agriculture, Irrigation and Livestock's National Comprehensive Agricultural Development Priority Program. Afghanistan's high-value crop sector contributes significantly to the country's economic growth and employment. Building on past U.S. Government investments in agriculture, AVC-HVC represents USAID's shift towards private-sector and agriculture-led economic growth by building the capacity of individual high-value crop-related enterprises to be profitable and competitive. The activity provides the enterprises with business development services and advice, driving profits and employment in a sector that supports approximately 80 percent of the Afghan population.
