There are no landless in famers in Afghanistan anymore. 600,000 hectares of farmland were distributed among 250,000 peasants and their families without payment. Before the revolution 50,000 big landowners possessed more than 40 percent of the soil, hundreds of thousands of farmers had nothing or only little.
