Paaafr Monitors Movement Of Locusts In North, South Regions

The Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) announced that it has monitored the movement of swarms of desert locusts in the northern and southern regions of Kuwait, indicating that it had conducted a comprehensive survey and took the necessary measures.

Nonetheless, the concerned authorities have requested the citizens and residents if they see the movement of the swarms of locusts in northern and southern parts of the country, most notably in the agricultural areas, to take a picture or make a video clip and send it to PAAAFR on its Twitter account or send in on the WhatsApp No. 50314455 for the Wafra area and for the rest of the regions, the WhatsApp No. is 97982998

Meanwhile, the President of the Kuwaiti Farmers Union, Abdullah Al-Dammak has appealed to His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled to reconsider the decision of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to set the prices of the Kuwaiti vegetable produce, in the face of the imported vegetables are allowed to raise the prices.

He mentioned that fixing prices in local produce is a positive aspect in the interest of the citizen, but in return, the Kuwaiti farmer must be treated fairly, as he faces difficulties that must be resolved by the ministry of commerce. It is not fair to prejudice his right as a citizen but deserves attention, and the prices of imported goods must be determined and monitored.
