Maidani Dawi: “Rumors about poisoning of Watermelon caused great losses to farmers” [Video]

Today, Monday, in a statement to Tunisie Numéerique, the head of the Tunisian Union of Field Peasants, Maidani Dawi, condemned everything that is being circulated concerning the diseases that may be caused by “Watermelon,” the favourite crop of Tunisians in the summer.

Dawi stated that the rumours being circulated through social media required him to interfere and explain many times through the media, highlighting that the authorities responsible for the health safety of food products had issued the results of their analysis, which confirmed the safety of “Watermelon.”

The speaker explained that this problem has taken on another dimension, as it has caused major losses at the level of production systems, for farmers, and for some producing companies as well, and has caused a significant reduction in the price of a kilogram of wheat, which will harm the production cycle.

The head of the Farmers’ Union called on the state and concerned authorities to intervene after social media became the dominant factor in food security.
