DCA-VET is covering almost all provinces in Afghanistan now, including the Southern provinces. To serve the Southern area, in 2014 a new office and training centre was established in Kandahar. In the new projects, a lot of emphasis is placed upon development of value chains. Through increased production, improved harvesting of animal products and linking farmers to traders and markets, value is added to animal products. Milk, cashmere, wool, pelts, eggs and meat are examples of value chain products that DCA-VET is working with to help farmers to improve their income.
