Soran district launched its third annual agricultural products festival on Thursday at Gulan Park. The two-day celebration features 56 local farmers showcasing a diverse range of crops and livestock through Friday evening. Agriculture Director General Kameran Hussein Mamand announced that participants represent various sectors from grape cultivation to livestock breeding. Local companies sponsor the event, while farmers showcase a range of products, including fresh pistachios, wheat, and tobacco.
The festival attracts visitors to Kurdistan's mountainous regions while promoting eco-tourism opportunities. Agricultural celebrations help position the area as both a hub for farming and a cultural destination. The Kurdistan Regional Government supports such initiatives as part of economic diversification beyond petroleum dependence. Officials provide farmers with subsidized resources and modern equipment to strengthen rural communities and enhance food security throughout the region.
