The farmers of the town of Sahm Al-Kafarat in Bani Kinanah District in the far north of Irbid Governorate have done well in investing in their agricultural lands located on the southern bank of the Yarmouk River, taking advantage of the pure river water, the alluvial soil and the semi-tropical climate in the valley to cultivate the guava tree in an organic and food-safe way, far from agricultural fertilizers or pesticides.
Despite the many challenges, the people of this town have cultivated about (1500) dunums that produce the best types of guava in the Kingdom; if the production of one dunum of land planted with guava is between (1500) to (1800) kilograms per day.
