El Kef: Harvest Season Advances by 70% Despite Total Yield Decrease to 500,000 Quintals
A report on the harvest season in Kasserine Governorate indicates that progress has reached approximately 70%. However, the harvest yield has decreased to around 500,000 quintals compared to 650,000 quintals last season, due to drought, delays in seed provision, and reduced fertilizer quality. Additionally, productivity per hectare has fallen below 20 quintals, as a result of low temperatures and their impact on pollination, along with insufficient rainfall and poor seed quality. Despite these challenges, harvesting operations are proceeding smoothly. The harvest season began on June 7 and 15 for barley and wheat, respectively, covering a total area of about 70,000 hectares.
