High Onion Yield in Gezira Scheme
The Governor of the Gezira Scheme affirmed his commitment to the horticultural sector as part of the senior management’s approach toward a policy of intensification and diversification, aimed at maximizing farmers’ returns from various crops.
During his tour of the horticultural sector in the Al-Makashfi and Al-Mansi divisions in Al-Managil, he noted that the agricultural plan targets the horticultural sector within the project to access export markets for fruits, thereby enhancing value-added chains for farmers.
Meanwhile, farmers called on the project administration to provide technical services in guidance, pest control, and monitoring of orchards to ensure their protection from pests.
The Governor also inspected large onion fields nearing harvest, emphasizing that this productive abundance undermines claims of famine in Sudan promoted by some international organizations.
