SYRIA AND IFAD DISCUSS BOOSTING COOPERATION ON LIVESTOCK DEVELOPMENT

Minister of Agriculture Dr. Amjad Badr discussed with Tawfiq al-Zabri, representative of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the extension of the Livestock Development Project and agricultural support to assist Syrian farmers.  The key focus areas included pasture seed production, rehabilitation of artificial insemination tanks, and restoration of animal production centers across the provinces.  Minister Badr emphasized the importance of establishing a productive marketing network to support rural women’s products and farmers as part of poverty alleviation efforts, particularly given the challenges Syria has faced.  For his part, al-Zabri highlighted that the project, currently being implemented across all provinces, aims to develop the agricultural sector. He noted that 12 technical experts will be required to tour the provinces and monitor the implementation process.  He also highlighted IFAD’s efforts to enhance rural women’s products in southern and coastal regions, as well as in Idlib and northeastern Syria, and support the development of the “Badia project.”  These discussions reflect the Syrian government’s commitment, alongside its international partners, to strengthening the livestock and agricultural sectors, supporting rural communities, and contributing to food security and sustainable development.
