AMMAN — Agriculture stakeholders in Irbid on Monday said that this year’s rainfall, totalling 100 per cent of the Kingdom’s annual average precipitation, signals hope for a good agricultural season.
Ahed Abaidat, head of Koforsoum Agricultural Society, said that this year’s summer planting provided higher yields, thanks to the abundant rainfall during the wet season, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Wheat and barley are being grown on around 110,000 dunums this year in the northern governorate, with 45,000 dunums for wheat and 65,000 dunums for barley, Petra added.
