The Governorate's Agriculture Directorate emphasized the importance of protecting forest wealth and preserving forests from encroachments and tree cutting, as they are a national treasure and a fundamental component of biodiversity and environmental balance.

The Directorate called on citizens to cooperate in protecting forests and to report any encroachments on forest trees, in a way that enhances shared responsibility for preserving the environment and ensuring the survival of this wealth for future generations.

The Directorate, as part of an awareness campaign, emphasized the importance of determining the harvest date according to the degree of fruit ripeness and the purpose of the crop, noting that the coloring of about 75 percent of the tree's fruits to black is considered an indicative sign for harvesting, while taking into account the variety and agricultural conditions, and avoiding excessive earliness or delay, due to its impact on the quantity and quality of the extracted oil.
It called for using manual harvesting methods or appropriate plastic combs, avoiding hitting branches with sticks, collecting fruits using clean mats to prevent them from touching the soil, transporting them in well-ventilated plastic crates, and avoiding placing them in closed plastic bags that lead to heat and moisture retention and accelerated fruit spoilage.
It also emphasized the importance of transporting the crop to the press as soon as possible, preferably within 24 - 48 hours of harvesting, to maintain the quality and sensory characteristics of the oil, and to reduce the possibilities of increased acidity as a result of poor storage and delayed pressing.
The Directorate called on farmers to prune dry and broken branches after the end of the season and to clean the area around the trees, which contributes to improving ventilation, reducing the spread of pests and diseases, and maintaining the productivity of olive trees in future seasons.
