The director of As-Suwayda Agriculture, Ayham Hamed, indicated in a statement to SANA reporter today that the estimates are less than expected due to the weather conditions during the season, indicating that the fields are well monitored by agricultural technicians and information about fungal and insect infections to deal with them properly.
