The irrigation system will water coffee trees in Bilad Al-Ghalf, Sanaa Province. This project will benefit four villages.
The minister spoke at the opening. He also addressed local officials as well as a group of coffee farmers from Bani Matar in the district.
Al-Thawr said, according to the report, that the ministry was working with helpers and funders to do similar projects in the rest of the districts and provinces.
He pointed out that the state is very interested in agricultural production and the possibility of self-sufficiency through this crop. This crop has a history of high quality.
According to the report, many farmers in these areas replanted Qat trees after the inauguration and began planting coffee trees.
Yemen is home to some of the best-loved coffee varieties, which are known for their distinctive taste. High-altitude coffee beans yield more flavour and density.
