Syria’s crops market presents a unique paradox: despite a significant decline in rural population growth by -5. 67% annually, the value added by agriculture to the GDP has surged to 33. 13% in recent years. This upward trajectory in agricultural value underscores the sector"s resilience and highlights opportunities for strategic investment in crop production, specifically in cereals, legumes, and medicinal plants. Analysts have observed that the cereal yield has improved to 1905. 8 kg per hectare, a striking recovery from a low of 1231. 9 kg per hectare in 2010. This enhancement is critical given that land under cereal production has contracted from 3166445 hectares in 2010 to 2300226 hectares in 2015.

However, challenges persist, notably in water resource management, as agriculture accounts for a staggering 87. 53% of total freshwater withdrawals. This over-reliance on water resources necessitates efficient irrigation practices and investment in water-saving technologies. Moreover, while the rural population forms a substantial 47. 83% of the total demographic, access to basic services such as electricity has declined from 83. 6% in 2010 to 79. 1% in recent years, potentially stalling rural agricultural productivity. Globally, Syria’s agricultural sector stands out for its contribution to GDP, outpacing many countries where agriculture forms a smaller GDP portion.
