The Sustainable Agricultural Rural Development Program (Reef Saudi) has completed a study exploring the viability of creating a community seed bank and producing sorghum silage in Jazan region.
The research is part of a broader project designed to bolster the Ministry of Environment, Water, and Agriculture’s capacity to implement sustainable rural development programs.
For the research, a group of experts in forage production discussed the possibility of establishing a community seed bank and producing sorghum silage from the green mass of high-yielding corn.
The study aims to inform small-scale farmers about the importance of high-quality seeds in agricultural production, as well as to differentiate between grains and seeds.
