Field day for vegetable farmers in Hamdan, Sana'a
Sana'a - Saba: Fares Al-Kahali, Deputy Governor of Sana'a for Services Sector, emphasized the importance of encouraging and supporting farmers to enhance agricultural productivity, particularly in cereal crops. His remarks came during a field day for vegetable farmers in Hamdan District, organized by the Small and Micro Enterprises Development Agency (SMEDA) of the Social Fund for Development (SFD). The event was funded and supported by the International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), under the supervision of the Agricultural Sector in the province. Al-Kahali highlighted the need to develop and improve agricultural extension programs to educate farmers on best practices and modern techniques that help reduce costs and increase production rates. He praised the farmers' engagement with project officials and their cooperation in implementing various agricultural production programs. For his part, Ali Al-Qiri, head of the Agricultural Sector in the governorate, commended the farmers' interaction, stressing the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water Resources, and local authorities' commitment to developing agricultural infrastructure by supporting farmers to achieve self-sufficiency. He also appreciated the support of the SFD, SMEDA, and all partners involved in implementing the project, which targets 60 farmers in the Wadi'ah area of Hamdan District. Fahd Attiya, Director of Hamdan District, noted the local authority and agricultural sector's dedication to farmers, in line with the directives of the Revolution Leader and the Supreme Political Council to support farmers and facilitate agricultural development. Meanwhile, Abdulrahman Al-Akhram, Cash-for-Work Program Officer at SFD, Bashir Al-Azib, Livelihood Improvement Supervisor, and Mansour Sanad, Head of the Project's Community Committee, explained that the "Integrated Development Interventions" project under the Second Additional Financing for the Social Protection Enhancement Project in Hamdan District aims to support 60 small-scale vegetable farmers in Breesh and Dharhan villages. The project provides technical guidance for vegetable production using modern agricultural techniques, including modern irrigation systems, agricultural inputs, and advanced methods, covering a quarter-hectare per farmer in areas known for irrigated vegetable farming from sustainable wells in Wadi'ah. The total project cost is $120,000, covering 15 hectares. Additionally, the project includes interventions such as rehabilitating ponds, dams, irrigation channels, and terraces in Dharhan and Al-Lakmah villages under the Cash-for-Work component, costing $255,000. The initiative seeks to contribute to food security, improve livelihoods, introduce modern agricultural inputs and techniques, reduce production and irrigation costs, minimize crop losses, increase vertical production per unit area, and enhance farmers' income.

Sana'a Province Deputy inspects work progress at Al-Fath Agricultural Production & Marketing Foundation
Sana'a - Saba: Faris Al-Kahali, the Deputy Governor of Sana'a for Services Sector, inspected the workflow at Al-Fath Agricultural Production and Marketing Foundation. Accompanied by Mahmoud Al-Hakimi, Deputy Head of the Agricultural Sector in the governorate, Al-Kahali received a briefing from the foundation's director, Fath Al-Rahman Al-Jassar, on its operations and activities in the marketing and export of prickly pears. Al-Jassar noted that in recent years, the foundation has expanded to market and export other varieties of fruits. He explained that the foundation's process begins with purchasing prickly pear crops from farmers, transporting them to the facility, where the produce undergoes cleaning, sorting, and removal of defective items. The products are then properly stacked, packaged, and transported to mobile refrigeration units before being exported and marketed abroad. Al-Jassar highlighted that this year, the foundation successfully exported over 100 tons of prickly pears, more than 150 tons of assorted fruits, in addition to 30 tons of mangoes, 10 tons of custard apples (sugar apples), and 10 tons of local peaches. He also addressed the challenges facing the foundation during export operations, including delays due to the blockade, the use of long and rugged alternative land routes, and congestion at border crossings—factors that sometimes lead to partial or complete spoilage of the products. The deputy governor praised the foundation's management and its role in supporting Yemeni farmers and producers, particularly amid the ongoing aggression and blockade. He called on investors to capitalize on the promising future of the agricultural sector, especially given the expansion of farmland and the successful cultivation of diverse crops.
