Palestinian agronomist Amani Abu Naeem has launched commercial blueberry cultivation in the northern West Bank through her project "Blueberry Karm," the Palestine News Network reported. What began as a small-scale experimental plot has developed into an operational agricultural enterprise, positioning the venture as a model for diversified farming in the region.
The initiative represents an expansion of local crop varieties beyond traditional staples. By introducing blueberry production to Jenin, Abu Naeem's project addresses both market demand and the potential for rural income generation. The success of the trial phase has enabled the transition to commercial-scale operations in the area.
