Hodeida:During the current summer season, the General Corporation for Grain Development and Production has distributed 1,186 sacks of various grain seeds to cooperatives in the Tihama Plain, located in Hodeida Governorate. These seeds have been planted across an area exceeding 2,400 hectares.
According to Yemen News Agency, a report issued by the foundation states that the distribution of seeds is part of programs designed to support farmers and provide essential agricultural inputs through cooperative associations, with the aim of boosting local production and enhancing food security.
The report explains that the foundation recently distributed 319 sacks of improved local seeds to five agricultural cooperative associations across the governorate's districts. The seeds included varieties of white and black sesame, maize (corn), sorghum, millet, and rice.
The distribution was carried out based on actual needs and approved plans intended to increase production rates and expand cultivated land, ultimately moving toward self-sufficiency. Preparations are underway to deliver the remaining allocated shares to agricultural associations in the Tihama Plain.
