An SRTF Agriculture Project Receive Multiple Deliveries to Facilitate Livestock Support

Türkiye – Monday, 1 August 2022 – The SRTF’s agriculture project “Support for the Recovery of Livestock Production Within Northern Aleppo- Phase II” announced receiving multiple deliveries under this project today. The deliveries consisted of one electronic balance /scale, one mobile sewing machine: a nine-passenger vehicle and ten motorcycles.

The deliveries will help staff members and farmers carry out several important tasks including verify livestock feed sacks weight before and after delivery especially in case of accidents or rips that may occur during transportation. The sewing machine will be used to sew ripped sacks or when replacing them with new ones. As for the vehicle, it will be used to transport staff such the veterinarians, technicians, and assistants to and from livestock locations to facilitate care and vaccination processes. The motorcycles will be used by project staff to reach villages and locations that are otherwise hard to reach via normal sized vehicles.

This is project has a budget of 1.5 million Euros and is expected to directly benefit 11,500 livestock breeders whose livestock will receive vaccination. Of that number, 2,680 sheep and goat breeders with average ownership of 15 heads, and 1,368 cow breeders who own at least two cows, will receive feed supplement as well. Indirectly, the project will benefit 57,500 estimated family members of livestock breeders in the project area populated by an estimated 250,000 people.
