By the end of the spring season, tenants in the western region will increase the onion harvest volume, planted on a total of 1 100 hectares, to 27 500 tons.

The cabbage and carrot sowing season in the velayat has already been completed ahead of schedule, and crop care is currently underway at a rapid pace. The high quality of the work performed indicates that this important campaign will be a success.
