Olive flowers fell cause of the high temperature during May

Engineer Ahmed Mohamed, head of the Department of Agriculture in Jableh, stated that the high temperature that prevailed in the region during May led to fall of the olive flowers, which negatively affected the fertility rate of the olive fruit
