Farmers' Leader Warns of Apple Market Glut
The President of the Farmers' Association, Antoine Hrawi, warned of a glut in Lebanese apple production, which is expected to exceed 250,000 tons in 2026. He cited weak markets and the lack of effective means to export or store the produce as the main issues. He explained that solutions include exporting, preserving, and processing the apples, emphasizing the need to establish agricultural processing factories and improve infrastructure within the sector. However, past political parties and governments have rejected these measures. He stressed that current policies lack a comprehensive plan to address the crisis of overproduction, which could lead to further losses for farmers.
