The farmers who were affected by the sea cyclones in Tartous have returned to planting their greenhouses again after receiving the compensation that President Bashar al-Assad directed to provide them with the aim of helping them overcome their losses, pay the debts they accumulated and return to agriculture again.
Farmer Tony Tamer Mahfoud from Dahr Safra village said in a statement to SANA that he owns 21 greenhouses, 16 of which were damaged, 12 of them completely because of the sea dragon that struck his land in December of last year.
Mahfoud said: I had to sell some of the holdings and borrowed in order to return the greenhouses to normal production, and the debts became large due to the high prices of production requirements, so the President’s help came to the affected as our savior, as I was able, like the rest of the farmers, to pay the debts and continue working vigorously.
Farmer Fadi Murad from El Geneina area pointed out to the damage caused to his crop by the marine dragon that struck the area in the middle of this month and led to the destruction of a large part of his crop with nylon and iron strips in greenhouses. His loss was very large, expressing his appreciation for the compensation he received, which would speed up In returning his greenhouses to their previous condition and returning to production soon.
With a damage rate ranging between 80 and 85 percent to 20 greenhouses, the outcome of farmer Charbel Doumit's losses was the result of the marine dragon, which destroyed the entire crop in addition to iron and nylon.
Doumait indicated that the farmer who works with him also suffered a broken leg during his attempts to restore some of the effects of the dragon's damage, stressing that without the compensation he received, he would not have been able to repair the damaged greenhouses and replant them again.
The effects of the dragon were very large for the farmer Bassam Gerges from the El Geneina area, and his entire agricultural project became on the land with his production. Mr. President, I was able to pay off the debts and stand up again.
Tartous Governor, Lawyer Safwan Abu Saada, confirmed in a statement to SANA that the donation offered by the President to the affected farmers in Tartous is worth two billion Syrian pounds, explaining that the number of damaged greenhouses is 936 greenhouses owned by 261 affected people.
