Taiz Meeting Focuses on Advancing Agriculture and Development in Al-Ma’afer and Al-Shamayatayn

Taiz:A significant meeting was held in the Al-Shamayatayn District of Taiz Governorate, focusing on strategies to enhance the agricultural and development sectors within the Al-Ma'afer and Al-Shamayatayn districts. This meeting was presided over by Abdulwasea Al-Shamsi, the Deputy Governor for Development Affairs.

According to Yemen News Agency, the meeting included key figures such as the governorate's agriculture sector official Abdullah Al-Jundi, Al-Shamayatayn Director Ramzi Al-Saqqaf, acting district security director Col. Essam Sabr, and the agriculture directors of both districts. The discussions centered around the current agricultural conditions, the needs of farmers, and the opportunities available to them.

Al-Shamsi emphasized the meeting's goal of evaluating the agricultural sector and addressing the challenges faced by farmers. He attributed these challenges to systematic targeting by organizations and their tools in areas formerly controlled by Saudi-backed forces and mercenaries. He also highlighted the importance of revitalizing agriculture and development efforts to achieve self-sufficiency, particularly in medicine, food, and clothing, thereby strengthening the economy and improving living conditions.

Al-Jundi presented practical measures designed to boost agricultural activity. These measures included identifying priority interventions to protect livestock, enhancing agricultural production, and utilizing the extensive farmland available in the two districts.

Al-Saqqaf expressed the local authority's commitment to providing the necessary facilities to support development efforts and bolster food security.
