KUWAIT CITY, May 30: The Director General of the Public Authority for Agricultural Affairs and Fish Resources (PAAAFR) Eng. Meshal Al-Quraifa announced the start of dispensing the subsidized feed online from Monday as a trial stage, provided that the actual full operation will begin from the beginning of June, after ensuring the success of the experiment and the discipline of the process during the current month, reports Aljarida daily.

In a press statement, Al-Quraifa explained that this achievement comes in line with the directives of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Nawaf to keep pace with the digital and technological development, similar to other government agencies. It is also based on direct directives from the Minister of Health Dr. Ahmad Al-Awadhi after transferring the authority’s affiliation to him.

This will represent a quantum leap in its achievements since its inception, and will be a first step in the procedures for automating PAAAFR’s transactions. He stressed the importance of reducing manipulation and forgery in obtaining subsidized feed and applying for agricultural plots and animal pens, indicating that PAAAFR is about to launch an introductory video on YouTube with steps to disburse the feed via online.

Al-Quraifa stated that the trial operation of this pilot phase will be in the Citizen Service Building, where a small number of clients will be received and the online support system will be operated, in coordination with the Mills Company. He said the public will be invited to introduce the new mechanism and train on the system two or three days after the success of the experience, as well as introduce them to the correct steps for optimal use.
