Vegetables refers to a variety of vegetables that are typically in season and readily available during the summer months. Many summer fruits and vegetables have specific growing seasons, and their availability is tied to the natural cycle of plant growth. Many countries in the Middle East and West Asia depend on the import of vegetables and greenhouses to meet their domestic needs. Per capita consumption of vegetables and fruits in the Middle East may vary between countries. Agriculture is one of the oldest occupations and includes growing plants and raising animals to meet human needs such as food, shelter, clothing, and medicine. In the developed countries of Asia, the agricultural sector is of special importance in such a way that they are currently turning to the production of more organic and healthy products. The Middle East is characterized by arid and semi-arid climates, resulting in limited water resources. West Asia is renowned for its date palm cultivation.
