Agoorda an alternative road which open recently links the borderdistricts with Faizabad vz Showhada to Ishkashim is the only possible half season approach totransport the food and other livelihood items but due to bad road condition as well security issue costof transportation is more than Warduj. The data show below for some daily use item cost hadincreased from 4% up to 100% in different districts. Wakhan and Zebak are mainly effected thanIshkashim districts due to cost of Transportation.Wakhan District- Price in Lower WakhanPrice at lower WakhanSr.No12345CommoditiesWheat 50 kgRice 70 kgCooking Oil 16kgTea 42kgSalt 7kgCost Before inAFG1700360016002700100Current cost inAFG2600450018003700150cost Increased in%age53%25%13%37%50%Cost Before inAFGCurrent cost inAFGcost Increased in%agePrice at Upper WakhanSr.No12345commoditiesWheat 50 kgRice 70 kgCooking Oil 16kgTea 42kgSalt 33%50%Note: Transportation cost increased for upper Wakhan due to washout of road at Wazad villageDistrict IshkashimSr.NoCommodities1 Wheat 50 kg2 Wheat flour No 13 Wheat flour No 2RF-Field Visit report August 21- 24th, 2015Cost Before inAFG100017001000Current cost inAFG130021001200cost Increased in%age30%24%20%by : Muhabbat Ali , Rupani Foundation

Attack of rust fungus on Wheat CropsWheat crops grown in the border areas of the district have been badly affected by attack of the rustfungus, a pathogen scientifically known as Puccinia rust fungus which will in turn effect has the yield ofwheat crop compared to last year creating scarcity of wheat available to the people living in theseareas and therefore will lead to serious food security situation in the area.RF-Field Visit report August 21- 24th, 2015by : Muhabbat Ali , Rupani Foundation
5. Recommendations A comprehensive studies need to conduct on food security issues in all 4 border districts jointlywith UN agencies NGO's and Government relevant departments. Some food stock should be reserved for the 118 families of Big Pamir at Ghoz Khon Wakhan incase of emergency. Future Project for Pamir could be design to cover most of the families to avoid free fooddistribution. Number of labor should be increased for Pamir only to cover the labor food charge duringconstruction. To avoid any food security in upper Wakhan due to Wazad road blockage the government maybe requested to immediately link the road to upper Wakhan, the work need blasting andexcavator. Due to hike in food price in all 4 districts and attack of " Puccinia rust fungus" winter food stockshould be store in all four districts in case of emergency Number of project should be increased for next coming year in "Food for Assist" to thesedistricts to cover the food shortage due to “rust fungus" attack cause less production of yield.Field Survey Team:1.2.3.4.Wali Jon, Field Coordinator WakhanMusfar, Field Coordinator Zebak /WardujAshor Beg , Field Coordinator IshkashimMuhabbat Ali, IPMRF-Field Visit report August 21- 24th, 2015by : Muhabbat Ali , Rupani Foundation
