Abstrakt: This study conducted an assessment to gauge the impact of reducing agricultural tariffs across diverse scenarios on both food security and macroeconomic variables in Afghanistan. Utilizing a computable general equilibrium model and Afghanistan's social accounting matrix data, the study simulated reductions in tariffs at 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and a complete removal (100%) of tariffs (full liberalization). The findings unveiled a progressive uptick in imports and household consumption of key staples like cereals, fruits, vegetables, and livestock. Crucially, this surge in household purchasing power spurred a heightened demand for food items, consequently, bolstering food security and contributing positively to the overall health of the households and society. Therefore, advocating for targeted initiatives aimed at eliminating tariffs on agricultural products emerges as an imperative step, given their tangible impact on enhancing food security and uplifting societal well-being.
