Wheat growers await dues while the new season set off

3-11-2015

In its issue of October 23, As Safir daily pointed out that despite the start of the new farming season and the decision by the Prime Minister and the Economy Minister to subsidize this agriculture, wheat growers are still awaiting last year’s financial compensation. The endorsed mechanism includes allocating LBP 75 thousand for each dunum, while leaving the farmers the freedom to act with the supply and production of the crop. In this respect, the President of the Wheat Growers Association in Lebanon, Khaled Shouman, said the advance has yet to be signed. The Finance Minister Ali Hassan Khalil appealed for a quick disbursement of the sum to be paid to farmers particularly at the onset of the winter season and its anticipated overheads.
