SEAL bought 12,399 apple tree roots for a total amount of $35,580 - from the lowest bid of 3 vendors who have submitted offers - to distribute to 400 farmers in four villages in the Batroun caza. The project is similar to the highly successful one we funded in the Bcharre caza last year.

The apple farms are the main, if not only, source of income for many of these farmers. Each farmer received 12 tree roots at a price of $2.80 per root depending on the capacity of their land.

This is the first project SEAL undertakes with the Municipality of Tannourine.

The 12,399 apple tree roots have been distributed to the following five villages:
-Wara Hawb
-Shetine
-Tannourine El Fawaa
-Tannourine El Tahta
-El Wadi
