AMMAN – The
National Consumer Protection Association has called on citizens who own cultivable spaces to make use of
them and cultivate certain types of vegetables that do not require large
amounts of water, relying on rainwater for their growth.

According to Al-Ghad Newspaper, this is aimed
at reducing the cost of daily purchases. Dr.
Mohammad Obeidat, the
association's president, mentioned that cultivating available spaces in homes
with vegetables and herbs like tomatoes, beans, mint, and parsley will
contribute to saving a small portion of the daily purchasing budget.
Additionally, it will promote the idea of
developing the local economy in rural areas, suburbs, and camps, as the local economy
is considered the third partner in supplying and supporting the national
economy.
Obeidat added that expertise from agricultural
specialists can be sought to learn modern methods of home gardening and how to
utilize available spaces in homes for cultivating certain types of vegetables
that grow quickly.
Cultivating these types will help reduce the
cost of daily living and avoid purchasing vegetables at high prices during the
winter season, when prices of some varieties usually rise for a not-so-short
period.
The Ministry of Agriculture was urged to
organize informative and guidance seminars and workshops to educate and inform
citizens about gardening methods and faster-growing products that do not
require large amounts of water.
