Afghanistan is one of the poorest and least developed countries in the world. Decades of conflict, weak governance and corruption has left the Afghan economy highly dependent on foreign aid, agriculture, and trade with neighboring countries. And despite the infusion of international assistance much of the population continues to suffer from shortages of housing, clean water, electricity, medical care, and jobs. Still, Afghanistan is reach in natural resources like natural gas, petroleum, coal, marble, gold, copper, chromite, talc, barites, sulfur, lead, zinc, iron ore and salt. However, a weak infrastructure and constant insurgency make them very difficult to extract. Afghanistan’s main industries are small-scale production of textiles, soap, furniture, shoes, fertilizer, and cement; hand woven rugs; natural gas, petroleum, coal and copper. Agriculture accounts only for 30% of the GDP, but it is a source of income for 80% of the population.
