Agriculture in the State of Palestine

The production of agricultural goods supports the population's sustenance needs and fuels Palestine's export economy.

[2] According to World Bank Palestinian agriculture suffers from widespread use of land for nature reserves as well as military and settler use.

Moshe Dayan actively encouraged its expansion, and as a result agricultural productivity increased on an annual basis by 16%.

As a result, water quotas for Palestinian farmers were incrementally reduced, forcing cultivators to leave their lands and seek jobs as day labourers in Israel.
