Social security for farmers and fishermen
Minister of Agriculture Nizar Hani discussed with a delegation from the Central Health Committee during the National Meeting of Agricultural Organizations the inclusion of farmers and fishermen working independently in the social security system, aiming to provide them with health coverage and social protection. During the meeting, the legal, administrative, and financial frameworks necessary to approve this measure were discussed, along with mechanisms for collecting contributions, taking into account the seasonal nature of their work and income disparities. Hani emphasized that around 86,000 farmers are registered in the agricultural registry, and approximately 30,000 farmers could benefit from social security once the decree is enacted. He considered this an investment in the stability of rural families and the support of national food security, along with the activation of mobile units to facilitate registration and reach the targeted groups.
