Adina Mohamad is a former opium poppy farmer who now grows fruit trees at his nursery for commercial sale.

AKDN supports nine now fully privatised nurseries, such Adina's, to provide varieties of more than 80,000 root-stock and saplings to more than 1,000 farmers per year.

These interventions have contributed to increases in the average productivity of wheat (58%), potato (25%), apple (116%) and vegetables (25%) since 2005.
