🎥 Development of 500,000 dunams of low-water millet crops in arid regions
Golmarza Golmouda, Deputy Minister of Agriculture of the Jihad: In the past two years, seven new varieties of millet crops were introduced, and this year 114,000 dunams of dry land were cultivated with low-water crops, resulting in the production of 100,000 tons of dry millet
The goal of the TAT organization is to increase this processing area to 500,000 dunams of rain‑fed lands by the end of Plan Z, where cultivating crops such as wheat, chickpea, millet, and beans can replace corn in the millet meal for which we now produce the main seed kernel
Now, with the transfer of technical knowledge to the field, a livestock feed plant produces 15 tons of products daily using agricultural waste, and its annual production capacity reaches about 3,000 tons
