Saudi Arabia, FAO Launch Date Palm Farming, Training Project in Tanzania

King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief), in cooperation with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), has launched a project to plant 3,000 date palm seedlings and train local farmers in Dodoma, Tanzania.
 The initiative aims to build drought resilience and diversify local incomes by establishing pilot fields, providing irrigation systems and agricultural machinery, and training farmers and extension staff. The project directly supports 250 smallholders and indirectly benefits about 1,150 individuals, reflecting Saudi Arabia's commitment, through KSrelief, to promoting sustainable agriculture and enhancing food security in Tanzania.
 The launch was attended by Saudi Ambassador to Tanzania Yahya Okeish, Tanzanian Deputy Minister of Agriculture David Silinde, FAO Representative Nyabenyi Tipo, and other officials.
