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.

US Sanctions Houthi-Linked Oil Smuggling Network Operating Between Yemen and UAE
The United States has imposed fresh sanctions on a petroleum smuggling and money laundering network accused of financially supporting Yemen's Houthis. The action, announced by the Treasury Department on July 22, targets two individuals and five entities operating across Yemen and the United Arab Emirates. Among those designated is Muhammad Al-Sunaydar, a prominent Yemeni businessman who manages Arkan Mars Petroleum Company, which allegedly coordinated the delivery of $12 million worth of Iranian petroleum products to Houthi-controlled ports in Hudaydah and Ras Isa. The network also includes UAE-based affiliates—Arkan Mars Petroleum DMCC and Arkan Mars Petroleum FZE—linked to the same smuggling operations. Other entities sanctioned include: - Al-Saida Stone for Trading and Agencies, suspected of laundering funds through coal imports. - Amran Cement Factory, reportedly used to fortify Houthi military infrastructure in Saada. The Treasury stated that these actors 'enable the Houthis' access to the international financial system' and generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually through illicit petroleum imports and taxation schemes. The sanctions were issued under Executive Order 13224, which targets entities supporting terrorism. All assets of the designated individuals and companies within U.S. jurisdiction are now frozen, and American citizens are prohibited from conducting business with them. This move follows a series of U.S. actions aimed at disrupting Houthi revenue streams and weapons procurement networks, as the group continues its missile and drone attacks on Israel and commercial shipping in the Red Sea.
