An SRTF Agriculture Project Delivers Wheat Seeds in Northern Aleppo

Türkiye – Tuesday, 21 November 2023 – The SRTF announced the delivery of 500 MT of wheat seeds to the Implementing Entity (IE) of its Agriculture project, “Support Farmers for the Production of Wheat Crop in North Aleppo”.

The wheat will be distributed to 1,000 farmers to plant a total of 2,000 hectares of land, meaning that every farmer will receive 500 kilograms (kg) of wheat seeds to plant two hectares of land.

This, coupled with the provision of other agricultural inputs such as fertilisers and agrochemicals, as well as the provision of capacity-building training sessions in Farmer Field Schools, will contribute to the overall aim of the project of revitalising wheat production and improve food security and livelihoods across the areas of operation in Northern Aleppo.

With a budget of EUR 2.07 million, this project will directly benefit 1,000 farmers and their 5,000 family members indirectly over a period of 18 months, which includes six months for post-implementation monitoring and evaluation. Additionally, 45,000 individuals per month will benefit from the availability of wheat flour used for bread production.
