Occupied Jerusalem, MINA – The European Union (EU) has made its contribution to the Palestinian Authority (PA) to support Palestinian farmers and agricultural businesses in the West Bank. Nearly €317,000 was channeled to the PA program “Assistance to Agriculture in the West Bank”.

The EU said in a press statement on Saturday that the eligible beneficiaries are farmers and agricultural facilities in the West Bank directly affected by the Israeli occupation, particularly farmers in Area B and C, PIC reported.

It explained that this support will help the farmers to restart, repair or replace their damaged businesses through different activities including acquisition of agricultural supplies, rehabilitation of land and other small infrastructure works.

Through this program, the EU supports 42 farmers in Nablus and Salfit provinces. The total number of farmers benefiting from the program is 61 in the West Bank.(RR04/RS5)
