The initiative started in January 2022, with the dedication of 5 farms in the Bu-Karya and Rimah regions, which operate as model farms

The model farms are managed hands-on, using advanced technologies and techniques, as well as tested international best practices for date cultivation to improve productivity and yield quality

The activities in the 5 model farms:
