Saudi development program signs deal to improve livelihoods of smallholder farmers in Yemen
  • The scheme targets about 2,300 Yemeni families — more than 16,000 beneficiaries — across three governorates of agricultural and economic importance: Abyan, Marib and Hadramout

RIYADH: Representatives from the Saudi Program for Development and Reconstruction of Yemen and the Response Foundation for Humanitarian and Relief Work signed an agreement on Tuesday to implement the “Strengthening the Agricultural Value Chain for Smallholders” project.

The scheme targets about 2,300 Yemeni families — more than 16,000 beneficiaries — across three governorates of agricultural and economic importance: Abyan, Marib and Hadramout, the SDRPY said in a post on X.

The project supports key sectors that affect livelihoods, particularly agriculture, which remains a central pillar of economic stability in Yemen.
