    The second phase of the project targets (55) farmers distributed over 25 villages, with a total cultivated area estimated at (4) acres, where production is expected to range from 20 to 25 tons.

    The first phase was completed in 2022, as (21) farmers were targeted during that phase within (12) villages from the four different states (Salalah, Taqah, Dhalkut, and Rakhyut).

    It was crowned with success and promising results, as the production of (6) tons of fresh organic turmeric was achieved on an area estimated at approximately (1.4) acres.
