The LRZ would enable local people to improve their livelihoods though the production of agricultural goods, the efficient delivery of services, and light manufacturing.

本地生产区应该通过农产品生产、提供高效服务和轻型制造业让本地人民改善生活。这一机制还应该为所有阿富汗人提供安全、社会服务、基础设施、信用和投入品（比如种子、肥料和农用机械）方面的平等待遇，从而增进性别平等。此外，它还应该提高食物供给、减轻阿富汗过度的进口依赖。
