As one of the farmers and landowners, we aimed to establish a standard factory to alleviate the challenges faced in rice produc on. Before the establishment of our company the farmers had to deal with lot of challenges for example The cul va on of rice paddy occurred over a span of four months, namely June, July, August, and September. During these four months, the harves ng of the crop was carried out within the first 20 days to prevent poten al damage caused by excessive water. The tradi onal method of burning the rice straw a er harvest o en led to accidental fires, resul ng in the loss of a year's income for the farmers. Moreover, the rice grains would get a foul smell, rendering them unfit for consump on. Consequently, the farmers had to sell this poor-quality rice at a significantly lower price to avoid facing hunger.
In summary, this locally produced rice, when compared to the second and third types of imported rice, was sold at half the price, making it prac cally equivalent in cost. However, due to its poor quality, it struggled to find a good market and remained the cheapest op on compared to imported rice. Consequently, rice produc on in the north-eastern zone decreased, and people began to shi towards imported rice. Unfortunately, some individuals had no choice but to use this low-quality rice for sustenance. Alhamdulillah, a er the establishment of the Shoaib Faisal Company, a significant number of farmers found relief from their rice produc on problems. Over the past few years, this company has fostered enthusiasm for rice cul va on and processing in the region. I am confident that within two to three years, Shoaib Faisal Rice will not only benefit the people of Afghanistan but also contribute to our beloved country becoming self-sufficient in rice produc on, God willing.
The Shoaib Faisal Company was founded in 2014 and commenced opera ons in 2015. It occupies a 10-acre land area, and the company made substan al investments in machinery, construc on equipment, and warehouses. In 2019, Shoaib Faisal Rice Processing and Produc on Company collaborated with Baylor, England, Buller Company to import modern machinery from foreign countries and also invested in construc ng a new factory warehouse. Alhamdulillah, this has led to the establishment of a second rice produc on and processing factory, adhering to interna onal standards."
The Shoaib Faisal Company, through its innova ve ac vi es and services, has been ac vely suppor ng the community and farmers of this country by providing hybrid rice seeds, both early and late maturing varie es, at reasonable prices. A er conduc ng research and promo ng the use of these improved rice seeds, the company has played a crucial role in enhancing rice cul va on in the region.
Shoaib Faisal Company has signed contracts with 4,500 affiliated farmers. As part of its support, the company provides each farmer with 14 kilograms of wheat and 4,000 Afghanis in cash for the purchase of fer lizers and labor for their fields. The company stands ready to assist farmers whenever they require support.
Furthermore, in the year 2020, 171 demonstra on plots were presented to the esteemed Office of Agriculture, Kunduz Province, through the collabora on with the Japan Interna onal Coopera on Agency (JICA). Shoaib Faisal Company also supports these demonstra on plots to enhance rice produc on, improve the quality of rice seeds, and promote rice cul va on in the country, providing both financial and moral support.
In addi on to the 171 demonstra on plots, 200 other demonstra on plots were established in eight provinces, including Takhar, Balkh, Mazar Sharif, Jalalabad, Herat, Laghman, Konar, and Badakhshan. Addi onally, 378 demonstra on plots were established in collabora on with JICA.
