Irrigation Crisis Raises Hardships in Rif Homs
Farmers in northern rural Homs, Syria, are facing significant challenges that threaten the agricultural sector, including water shortages for irrigation and rising production costs. These issues have led to reduced cultivated areas and decreased agricultural output. Weak governmental support and the lack of water from Lake Qattineh have caused some agricultural lands to turn into deserts. Farmers are relying on solar-powered wells due to the high fuel prices. They are calling for immediate intervention to support them in drilling and maintaining wells, providing necessary farming supplies, and revitalizing the sector to ensure food security—especially in light of rising vegetable prices and shrinking cultivated areas—even as Syria announced that it has achieved self-sufficiency in wheat for the first time in years.
