 Economy
Afghanistan is one of the most undeveloped countries, mainly depending on agriculture and stockbreeding. The products include wheat, cotton, beet, fruit, nut as well as sheep, ox. The many years' war has destroyed the country badly in the fields of transportation, communication, industry, education and agricultural foundation. Therefore, the government of Afghanistan has carried out a series of policies to recover its economy, such as actively using international aid and encouraging foreign investment. This land also reserves rich natural resources. There are abundant copper ore and coal, the fifth largest iron ore vein as well as plenty of natural gas and petroleum store.
