Deir Ezzor-SANA

The Director of Agriculture in Deir Ezzor, Engineer Asaad Toukan, stated that the area planted with the yellow corn crop for the current season in the governorate amounted to 3,000 hectares out of a planned 7,000 hectares of cultivation.

Tokan explained in a statement to SANA reporter that the yellow corn crop is one of the basic crops and a source of income for many families in the province and a supporter of the national economy as it is a raw material for a number of food industries in addition to its uses in feeding animals and poultry.

Toukan indicated that government agencies have taken encouraging measures to increase farmers' demand for cultivating corn, including raising the value of the marketing price, pointing to directing farmers to plant hybrid varieties on the grounds that they are highly productive.

For their part, a number of farmers affirmed that the yellow maize provides a remunerative financial return for them, demanding to secure the full requirements of work and agricultural production, including irrigation water and fuel, in addition to expediting the establishment of government dryers for yellow maize in order to accommodate the entire production of farmers and increase the cultivated areas in the future.

In turn, the head of Deir ez-Zor Farmers' Union, Khazzan al-Sahw, returned the failure to cultivate the entire planned area of ​​the yellow corn crop due to the high temperatures during the period of planting the crop, which led to an increase in production costs, especially the amount of fuel allocated to the irrigation process.
