Agriculture ministry launches farmers registration in Baalbaq

21-11-2017

The minister of agriculture Ghazi Z3ayater announced from Baalbaq on Sunday that his ministry has initiated a registry for Lebanese farmers within the framework of a project implemented in partnership with FAO in Lebanon. Z3ayater pointed out that while the registration process all over Lebanon necessitates huge funds and efforts, the ministry decided to start with a pilot registry in some villages to assess the required size of work and costs in preparation for a comprehensive implementation on the national level. Z3ayater clarified that the pilot stage is carried out by a technical team of engineers at the ministry who have been trained by FAO experts. An IT registration system has been designed based on entry of data related to the farmer, the farm, location, type of agriculture, machinery and livestock farming, in addition to information on the farmer’s living conditions and the number of workers at the farm, Z3ayater explained.
