Al-Barshoumi boosts Asir markets
Market demand in the Asir region is increasingly focused on the Barshoumi fruit, the summer prickly pear, which serves as a seasonal income source for farmers and rural families, especially with the rise in demand during the summer holidays. The prickly pear, adapted to the area's dry conditions, is cultivated on slopes and in wadis and is harvested from summer through early autumn, requiring caution due to its thorns. The Barshoumi season helps support the rural economy and enhances the marketing of local products. It also provides visitors with a fiber-rich product, high in vitamin C and minerals, reflecting the importance of seasonal agriculture in strengthening Asir's economic and tourism identity.
