Jerash, Aug. 22 (Petra) — Agricultural authorities are closely
monitoring this season’s fig harvest following farmer reports that
extreme heat and changing weather conditions could harm crop yields,
official sources said Saturday.
Director of the Jerash Agriculture Department Ola Mahasneh said
agricultural extension officers are tracking observations from local
growers. She noted that prevailing climate conditions and rising
temperatures may impact production volume, with varying effects
depending on the region and fig variety.
Agricultural extension teams are providing farmers with technical
advice and guidance on protective measures and proper agricultural
practices at appropriate times, Mahasneh added.
Local farmers expressed concern over potential declines in fig
production, citing rising costs for irrigation, tree maintenance, and
crop monitoring. They emphasized that the fig harvest serves as a
crucial source of income for many rural families in the region.
