Cold apple storage in Fneidik supports farmers
28-3-2018
In its Saturday’s issue, Al Mustaqbal newspaper shed light on the cold apple storage facility launched by Emkan association in Fneidik, Akkar, back in 2011. The warehouse boasts one of the most sophisticated and modern equipment needed to keep apples in good condition for a long period, according to Al Mustaqbal. The facility contributes to the reduction of production cost and preservation of the apple harvest, and allows farmers to sort and pack their produce until they finish marketing their production wholesale in all the regions across Lebanon. Apple growers said the Fneidik warehouse also helped in lowering the cost of transport, where in the past they had to transfer the apples to Tripoli, Jbeil, or as far as Beirut for storage. Besides, Al Mustaqbal concluded, the cold storage room is currently developing agricultural programs targeting local farmers aimed to provide agricultural extension and assistance on the one hand, and to help select first-rate varieties of apples and crops on the other.
