SEAL bought 21,500 apple roots for a total amount of $43,000 - from the lowest bid of 3 vendors who have submitted offers - to distribute to local farmers in the region.

The apple farms are the main, if not only, source of income for many of these farmers. Each farmer received between 50 to 200 roots at a price of $2 per root depending on the capacity of their land.

This is the first project SEAL undertakes with the Cooperative of Kadisha for Agricultural Development and Production in collaboration with the Mayors of various villages in the Caza of Bcharre.

The 21,500 have been distributed as follows:
- Village of Hadath el Jobe: 2,000 roots
- Village of Hadchit: 3,500 roots
- Village of Bkarkacha: 3,000 roots
- Village of Ben: 2,000 roots
- Village of Bella: 2,000 roots
- Village of Bcharre: 7,000 roots
- Village of Diman: 2,000 roots

$2,000 were spent on transportation and distribution.
