Al-Wahbani praised the level of preparation and organization of the festival, which reflects the orientation of the revolutionary and political leadership and its keenness to support, nurture and encourage national agricultural products to reach self-sufficiency, as well as working to support small rural farmers and support the national economy.
He stressed that the festival contributes to supporting farms, agricultural inputs, and everything that serves the national economy, noting that the festival itself is a message that the country and the people, under the wise leadership, are continuing to advance the nation in the economic, agricultural, and industrial fields despite the current challenges.
On its second day, the festival witnessed a large turnout from citizens, farmers, marketers, exporters, and businessmen, to learn about the types and advantages of fruits that Yemen abounds and that are distinguished by their quality and taste from the rest of the world’s products.
