Mohammed Mansi Al-Saeedi

farmer

Mohammed Mansi Al-Saeedi is a 72-year-old owner of orchards in the Qada of Badra, Iraq. He has witnessed significant challenges over the years due to severe water shortages and damage caused by wars and fires, which have drastically reduced the number of date palms and fruit trees in his orchards. However, he expressed renewed hope following the recent heavy rains that have replenished the land and groundwater, potentially revitalizing the agricultural identity of Badra, once known for its abundant produce.
