The Ministry of Agriculture, through National Horticulture and Livestock Project »"NHLP", has provided farm work for more than 3,000 women in the center and 12 districts of the province.

These women work in Greenhouses which are created by the Ministry of Agriculture, through the Ministry of Agriculture's National Horticulture and Livestock Project.

The Ministry of Agriculture trained all women in all methods of growing, Cultivating, and Harvesting different types of Vegetables and their processing.

The Ministry of Agriculture, through its National Horticulture and Livestock Project, has distributed 16 types of Vegetable Seeds to these women, and has established Greenhouses of various sizes for a number of these women, as well as Vegetable and fruit processing centers.

A number of these women are emphasizing the expansion of the Ministry of Agriculture's assistance to women in the districts of the province.

It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Agriculture, through the National Horticulture and Livestock Project "NHLP" has already provided these services to thousands of women in other provinces, which has had good results.
