An SRTF Agriculture Project Delivers Fertilisers in Northern Aleppo
Türkiye – Sunday, 17 December 2023 – The SRTF announced the delivery of 500 MT of fertilisers to the Implementing Entity (IE) under its Agriculture project, “Support Farmers for the Production of Wheat Crop in North Aleppo”.
The fertilisers will be distributed to 1,000 wheat farmers to plant 2,000 hectares (HA) of land. Such fertilisers provide increased nitrogen and phosphorus to wheat crops, which are essential for their growth as they enhance the protein content and size of the wheat grains, allowing farmers to yield better quality grains suitable for baking and milling purposes.
Other agricultural inputs, including agrochemicals and capacity-building training sessions, will continue to be provided to farmers throughout this project’s lifecycle, contributing to the overall aim of revitalising wheat production and improving food security and livelihoods in Northern Aleppo.
With a budget of EUR 2.07 million, this project is expected to directly benefit 1,000 farmers and their 5,000 family members indirectly over 18 months (including six months for post-implementation monitoring and evaluation). An additional 45,000 individuals per month will also benefit from increased access to bread production from the increased availability of wheat.
