Hani Aims to Boost Agricultural Quality
The article focused on Lebanon's goals and aspirations to develop walnut cultivation in particular, following the launch of the first annual walnut festival in Nahiya Shouf, sponsored by Minister of Agriculture Nizar Hani. Hani explained that Lebanon produces approximately 3,000 tons of walnuts annually, but domestic consumption exceeds production. In 2025, Lebanon imported more than 16 million dollars' worth of dried and peeled walnuts. The minister emphasized that the aim is to improve the quality of local production, reduce costs, and cut the import bill, with an emphasis on enhancing pruning, fertilization, and pest control processes to achieve greater, higher-quality local production. This would contribute to increasing farmers' income and creating more job opportunities in rural areas.
