The economy of Afghanistan is recovering from decades of
conflicts. The economy had improved significantly since the fall the Taliban’s
regime in 2001 largely because of the infusion of the international assistance
like the Canadian army who brought a lot to the afghan community. Although they
brought some help, Afghanistan is extremely poor, landlocked and really
dependant on foreign aids. Also, much of the population continues to suffer
from clean water, electricity, medical care and jobs. That’s why the Canadians
in Afghanistan created some jobs and brought fresh water to the Afghans who
don’t had water anymore. It will probably take the rest of the decade to raise
the Afghanistan’s living standards from its current level, among the lowest in
the world. The big of the economy has always been agricultural. Afghanistan is
known for producing some of the finest fruit, especially pomegranates, grapes
and melons. Several provinces in the north of the country are reputed for their
pistachios cultivations. The current trade between Afghanistan and other
countries is at US$5billion a year. Since the collapse or the Taliban’s regime
in 2001, new trade relations emerged with the United States, Pakistan, Iran,
Turkey, the EU (European Union) and Japan.
