We need to focus on the water and the water and the water.
01:42
The area is more than the area is to the area.
01:47
The area is not to be able to get 700 kg to 1,220 kg
01:56
But the coastal region is the way to the way to the river
02:00
and also to improve the areas that are needed in the coastal region
02:06
which are small areas.
02:08
Still, yields in the desert are now higher than those from river irrigated lands.
02:13
Farmer Fahad Abdullah shares his concern.
02:17
Frost and no rainfall damaged most of the harvest this year.
02:21
We haven't come here yet and there was a natural disaster.
02:25
I can see this. There are many places.
02:27
What is the forest?
02:29
And they hit it.
02:31
So now the situation is more dangerous.
02:33
I mean, if you want to get out of it, you can get out of it.
02:38
Despite challenges, hope remains.
02:41

02:56

02:57
The Amantia
03:18
We have achieved what we wanted and what we needed to increase the growth like this.
03:29

03:34
