Made a focus group to measure the extent of farmers’ needs and show the following:

• Farmers are interested in strategic crops
• The high cost of labor during the harvest season and their low number due to the high demand during the season
• There is a percentage of crop loss during the collection and pressing operations
• Agricultural operations without mechanization take a long time and effort

 The following was recommended:

• Providing a harvesting, collecting, and pressing machine:

A machine for harvesting wheat and Alfalfa mowing, including the feature of harvesting wheat and tying wheat. It works on gasoline. The width of the weapon is 140 cm. It works on 3 wheels. It has a Turkish or Italian motor driving seat. All components of the machine are Italian. One-year warranty against manufacturing defects.

The approximate cost (175 thousand pounds) is one hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds.

• Providing a threshing machine:

A threshing machine that works behind the tractor by means of the PTO or belt. It performs the process of threshing, winnowing, and chopping the waste by means of knives and sieves of different diameters to suit different crops and is available with a variety of production capacities between 250-3000 kg/h. multi-purpose by changing a few sieves. It works on crops (wheat, beans, alfalfa, barley, soybeans, beans, peas, sorghum, lentils, lupine, and fenugreek). Durable steel structure against shocks. Excellent work output and operation. Time and oil saving. All spare parts are available with an integrated and advanced maintenance center.

The approximate cost (180 thousand pounds) is one hundred and eighty thousand pounds.

(The Association will provide tractors and some other Machines and tools for making compost) 

• Seminars, meetings, and focus groups to teaching farmers about modern mechanization and its importance and the importance of benefiting from agricultural waste, and the processes and methods of modern cultivation of wheat.

• Creating extension fields in cooperation with the Together Association for Development and the Environment and Feed the Future program team to teach farmers about the best types of seeds and modern farming methods to reduce costs and increase productivity and economic return for farmers’ families.

Project development policies:

• The project aims to achieve a better economic return for farmers, which contributes to providing a better environment for farmers’ families
• The project works to protect the environment, as the waste resulting from agriculture will be used to convert into compost to be used in organic fertilization for the soil, which preserves the features of the soil and reduces the use of chemical fertilizers.
• The Association works to provide services to small farmers of women, especially the breadwinners among them, to provide the best productivity at the lowest cost and the highest return, while providing a safe environment for them during their agricultural work.
• Providing technical support to farmers with the latest methods of growing strategic crops (wheat), the best irrigation methods based on reducing irrigation water consumption
