“…Linked to the wider food system, a multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach is necessary in Afghanistan to encompass the downstream value chain issues in intermediary small to medium enterprise development (the missing or hidden middle of enterprise of Reardon, 2015 and Alibhai et al, 2017).

The production and availability of food underpins societal stability. In Afghanistan, wheat is the major arable agricultural crop and source of dietary energy. The withdrawal of NATO allies and partner countries from Afghanistan presents numerous well-documented societal and political challenges and has impacts on immediate and longer-term food security. Conflict-impacted irrigation infrastructure coupled with growing climate instability have also contributed markedly to reductions in current food, and specifically wheat, production. Here, we review the status of Afghan wheat improvement and propose a research agenda to support the regeneration of Afghanistan's wheat and agricultural sector.

“…Officials at GAC, for instance, stated that although they would like to maximize the use of local suppliers, often the quality did not correspond to their standards and requirements. This challenge of a poorly developed SME environment in sub-Saharan Africa has often been attributed to the issue of the "missing middle", where there is a lack of an entrepreneurial class who have been able to progress successfully from being recipients of microfinance to accessing the conventional bank finance needed to develop their businesses further (Alibhai, Bell, and Gillette 2017). In some cases, it was reported, not only was the quality of domestic goods and services being supplied locally poor, but they were also more expensive.…”
