Kurdish Farmer Relies On Chaq-Chaqah Machine For Mountainous Harvest
A Kurdish farmer uses a specialized traditional harvesting machine, locally known as Chaq-Chaqah, to reap crops in the mountainous village of Dergala, located in the Warte sub-district of Erbil province, Iraq, on June 28, 2026. Due to the rugged, steep, and inaccessible terrain of the region, modern heavy combine harvesters cannot reach the agricultural lands, forcing local farmers to rely on these compact, specialized tools to complete their annual harvest.
