After a break for years due to terrorism, the farmers of the Western Al-Bayarat in Palmyra harvest the wheat of their lands

After a hiatus of about seven years due to the terrorist attacks, farmers in the Western Al-Bayarat area in Palmyra countryside have returned to harvest the wheat crop on their lands.

The Head of the Palmyra Agriculture Department, Ahmed Youssef, said that the Western Al-Bayarat area planted with wheat amounted to 26,000 dunams, of which about 5,000 dunums have been harvested so far.

The Chairman of the Palmyra Agricultural Association, Ahmed Nagim, said that the necessary facilities were provided to farmers by securing fuel for harvesters and trucks for transporting wheat to the governorate center.

 

Nagim said that the farmers received all the requirements of the production process from seeds and required fertilizer, pointing to the role of the Syrian Arab Army in cleaning farms from mines.

Farmer Khaled Al-Abbas, who was working on harvesting wheat on his 600 dunams-land, said that the fertilizer and fuel provided to farmers contributed to reducing production costs due to the high prices on the black market.
