"The Palestinian Authority (PA) is working to collapse Israeli agriculture in the Jordan Valley by preventing Arab workers from the PA from working in the Israeli agricultural areas of the Valley, TPS has learned. PA officials claim they are working to prevent the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), but the PA’s goal is to reduce the Israeli presence in the Valley for political reasons, and has intensified its activity since the unveiling of the US President Trump’s Deal of the Century peace plan, farmers in the Jordan Valley told TPS."

Rains to worsen locust outbreak, harm wheat crop Amin AhmedUpdated April 19, 2020 ISLAMABAD: Raising concerns over unseasonal rains in March and Arpil in the country, the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) in its report said desert locust outbreak will worsen and eventually harm wheat crop in Pakistan. The country has been facing locust infestation since the beginning of 2019. Abundant rains during March and April has improved vegetation conditions which along with warm temperatures in April could support locust breeding. An increase in locust numbers may damage late-planted wheat crops still to be harvested, the report said. Overall, 2020 wheat production is expected to remain close to the five-year average, but below previous expectations of a bumper output, FAO said in an analysis report on Pakistan."
