	Situation Reports: Afghanistan, Afghanistan Food Security Update Sep 2006 - Poor winter rains hit cereal production (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Generally, the food security situation in the northwestern provinces (Faryab, Jawzjan, and Sari Pul provinces) is worse than in the northeastern provinces (Balkh, Baghlan, Kunduz, and Takhar provinces), with the exception of Samangan Province, which was highly drought affected.
		Although residents report a significant decrease in irrigation water supply, this may be explained in part by the fact that communities do not maintain the canals and intakes to the same level as they did in the past because of the widespread perception that this is the responsibility of the government and aid community.
		For example, Wild Rue exportation from the northern provinces increased by 30 percent, sesame exportation increased by 40 percent, and the rainfed watermelon harvest was reasonably good in the northeastern provinces.
