Sharezûr- Pêncewîn Autumn Festival has been annually held in the Sharezûr town of Sulaymaniyah. During the festival, the citizens exhibit local products, handicrafts, and local dishes. Ruweyda and Rumeysa Emin are two sisters exhibiting their natural products at the festival. The sisters, who wore local dresses, spoke to our news agency and gave information about their natural products.

Ruweyda Emin studies at the University of Sulaimani. She told us she participated in the festival with her family, “We produce these natural products. We pick fruits in the mountains of our village and make jam. We have beehives in our village and the honey we are exhibiting here is natural. We exhibit local products so that people prefer them.”

“Sick people feel better when they consume natural products”

Rumeysa Emin told us the benefits of natural products. “Honey is one of the natural products highly demanded by citizens because it is very good for health. Mulberry jam is good for women, who want to have a child. Sick people feel better when they consume mulberry jam. We work to support our family.”
