India is quietly deepening ties with Afghanistan’s Taliban regime — not through diplomacy or defense, but through agriculture.

In a surprising move, Afghan Agriculture Minister Abdullah Omari wrapped up a 6-day visit to New Delhi, meeting with top Indian ministers and institutions like NABARD and ICAR. Talks focused on irrigation, food security, seed systems, and even climate-resilient crops; areas where India has real expertise. Despite not formally recognizing the Taliban, India is upgrading its embassy staff in Kabul and sending aid via Chabahar; though recent geopolitical disruptions are forcing new logistics. This isn’t about politics; it’s about food, futures, and quiet influence. As Afghanistan struggles with shortages, India’s agricultural outreach could reshape regional stability; one seed at a time.
