(55)-20-9-2026 KFW- Follow-up- Providing a Solar-Powered Cold Storage Room for Apple Storage - Kafir Yabus- Damascus_
As part of the RRMACS Project, a field monitoring visit was conducted for the apple value chain support group in Kafir Yabus village, Rural Damascus Governorate, on February 18, 2026, targeting 91 local farmers.
The visit included a follow-up review of the provision of an apple cold storage room powered by a solar energy system to ensure a clean and sustainable power supply for operations.
The project aims to achieve a sustainable economic and developmental impact by improving storage quality, extending product shelf life, reducing post-harvest losses, and decreasing reliance on conventional energy sources—thereby boosting farmers' income, enhancing local and regional marketing capabilities, and supporting local livelihoods and food security.
This activity is part of Road to Resilience Making Rural Agricultural Communities in Syria More Viable (RRMACS), which aims to improve the resilience of rural communities with a focus on women and youth, allowing them to cope with economic uncertainty and environmental shocks. This activity is funded by KFW and implemented by AKF.
