Hodeida:The Multi-Purpose Agricultural Cooperative Association in Al-Munira district of Hodeida province has received a donation of five modern seed drills. These drills, locally manufactured, were provided by the Suhul Al-Yemen Foundation to enhance farming operations and boost production efficiency.
According to Yemen News Agency, the newly delivered equipment includes drills suitable for planting crops in both irrigated fields and sandy terrains. The purpose of these drills is to improve sowing methods, increase germination rates, and reduce seed waste and production costs.
Abdullah Masawi, the Chairman of the Association, expressed that the equipment is expected to enhance crop cultivation, save farmers time and effort, and ultimately increase agricultural output. This move is anticipated to support food security and contribute to self-sufficiency in the region.
Post-delivery, the association's leadership and technical team conducted a field trial of the desert seed drill. During this trial, farmers were provided with practical guidance on its operation and had the opportunity to assess its performance in sandy soil conditions.
The handover event was attended by representatives from the Suhul Al-Yemen Foundation, grain and sesame supply-chain officers, local authorities, association board members, and officials from the production unit.
