Wanderlust World Wanderlust World Agriculture employs ~75% of the labor force: farming (wheat, corn, rice, barley, fruits), livestock (sheep, goats, cattle, poultry), forestry (timber, firewood, charcoal).
Other sectors: mining (copper, iron, gold, silver—major revenue), construction (especially in Kabul), trade/services (large informal economy: transport, retail, food prep).
Despite these activities, decades of conflict leave Afghanistan among the world’s poorest nations, with widespread poverty, corruption, weak infrastructure, and limited healthcare/education access.
