Syria’s Autonomous Administration goes on accomplishing 2021 projects
RAQQA, Syria (North Press) – The Autonomous Administration is going on implementing “strategic projects” included in 2021 plan, despite the damage to the agricultural production in which the projects rely on, an official said on Tuesday.
“The goal to accomplish these projects is achieving self-sufficiency, food security and economic stability in northeast Syria’s regions,” Salman Barudo, co-chair of the Economy and Agriculture Board of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES), told North Press.
“The plans set, were affected by the general situation of the relatively weak agricultural season this year due to the drought wave and the lack of rainfall that northeast Syria experienced during last winter,” Barudo added.
He pointed out that the agricultural product is the most important tributary to the economic movement in northeast Syria through the yield of strategic agricultural crops such as wheat, barley and corn.
The official believed that the AANES has to attempt to avoid economic deficit due to the decrease of the agricultural production and “not to give up to the current economic situation.”
Last year, officials of the AANES talked about a set of strategic and developing projects that would be carried out during the year with the aim of improving the economic situation in northeast Syria.
Two days ago, the AANES Economy and Agriculture Board opened a cheese and dairy factory in Derik. Before, it had opened a vegetable oil factory in Qamishli, poultries and incubators for eggs in Raqqa, two mills in Raqqa and Jazira region, and greenhouses in several regions.
