The proposed trans-Afghanistan pipeline, which will connect Turkmenistan with India though Afghanistan and Pakistan, is another example of a project to be implemented in coming years. Further cooperation among the economies of the subregion could lead to the creation of transnational transport infrastructure, and the elimination of barriers and obstacles to the movement of goods and services could further accelerate development of these countries (Farra, 2012). Poor weather in late 2012 in areas producing wheat and maize became the main cause of reduced harvests and consequent food price spikes all over the subregion.
