  • Role of Women in Agriculture in Lebanon
    Briefing note March 2021 The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is leading international efforts in the fight against hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. It helps developing countries and countries in transition to modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices to achieve good nutrition for all. FAO Lebanon Programme is aligned with FAO’s global Strategic Objectives. Lebanon was among the first countries to benefit from a FAO Country Office to strengthen the Organization’s programmes on the ground. Established in 1977, the Office seeks to promote harmonious and sustainable development of the agricultural sector along with the national agricultural policy, in consultation with relevant ministerial departments. Role of women in agriculture in Lebanon Sector context The role of women in agriculture in Lebanon is still not well recognized due to limited sex-disaggregated statistics and the lack of gender analysis in the sector. However, it is certain that women in rural areas are major contributors to this sector. They account for up to 43 percent of the agricultural work force. They usually spend long hours performing labor-intensive and time-consuming manual agricultural tasks, such as sowing, weeding, harvesting and processing. They are also responsible for a major part of livestock production activities. Some estimates indicate that, in certain labor-intensive agricultural sectors (e.g. tobacco growing) and household-based production activities, women actually constitute the absolute majority.

  • FAO MISSION to ASSESS the IMPACT of the FINANCIAL CRISIS on AGRICULTURE in the REPUBLIC of LEBANON 21 September 2020 IMPORTANT
    SPECIAL REPORT FAO MISSION TO ASSESS THE IMPACT OF THE FINANCIAL CRISIS ON AGRICULTURE IN THE REPUBLIC OF LEBANON 21 September 2020 IMPORTANT This report is based on information valid at the time of its finalization in April 2020. Since then, many economic and social developments have taken place in the country. On 4 August 2020, a devastating explosion occurred in the Beirut Port, leaving some 200 people dead and over 6 000 people injured. The blast destroyed parts of the port including the bulk terminal and main grain silo, ruined neighbourhoods in the vicinity and caused material damages in the greater Beirut area. The explosion added another dimension to a multi-faceted crisis Lebanon had already been facing, as the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the deterioration of economic conditions, with unemployment and poverty increasing and inflation rates skyrocketing. In July 2020 (last information available), consumer prices increased by over 112 percent compared to July 2019, while the food price inflation reached over 330 percent year on year. Nevertheless, the current report contains a valid description of the sector that can still be useful to inform policy decisions and provide background information on the agricultural sector in Lebanon.

  • CDR MAG English
    2 Message from the President CDR October 2012 We can’t possibly talk about 2011 without listing the tremendous facts and events witnessed by the Arab World during that year. Clearly, a long time will pass before the impact of these events on the political, economic and social situation in the countries affected by the repercussions of these events is perceived. Throughout 2011, Lebanon maintained a fair level of stability, despite its being in the eye of the storm, and was able to reduce the gravity of impending risks at all levels. And since promoting economic and social development is the most important action a government can take to immunize society and enable it to avoid severe crises in such circumstances, the CDR has doubled its efforts in this regard, in cooperation and coordination with all the public administrations and institutions and with the partners concerned with the development process. In addition to the implementation of its previously planned programs, the CDR launched in 2011 several vital projects in all sectors and covering all regions, and prepared draft financing agreements that were referred to the Council of Ministers in preparation to presenting them to the Parliament. Work progress on these activities, at the programming, implementation and financing levels, is detailed in a special report. We do believe that the best response to the challenges facing Lebanon, to which were added recently those due to the events in neighboring countries, lies in increased solidarity among the Lebanese, and in raising development levels, in addition to promoting individuals and society’s faith in the state and the institutions.

  • Effects of Trade Liberalization on Agriculture in Lebanon
    Effects of Trade Liberalization on Agriculture in Lebanon With special focus on products where methyl bromide is used Foreword With the increased implementation of trade liberalization agreements throughout the world, the issue of Trade and Environment has become a growing concern for almost all countries. Developing countries in particular have to realize that trade promotion and environmental protection are both essential pillars of sustainable development. Various policies and measures to reduce the negative impact on the environment have materialized or are in the process of being developed in Lebanon. Among these policies is the implementation of a project related to the elimination of the use of methyl bromide that constitutes the umbrella under which this study lies. In this context the agricultural sector in Lebanon is facing many challenges in light of agreements to liberalize trade. Currently, Lebanese agricultural practices, and more specifically the use of methyl bromide in crop production, impact heavily on the environment. The greatest culprit in that respect seems to be the misuse and overuse of chemicals (as pesticides). Besides the adverse impact on the environment, excess use of pesticides and continuous use of methyl bromide raises market access issues as they represent major technical barriers to Lebanese agricultural exports. Methyl bromide is used as a soil fumigant to control a wide range of pests in high value horticultural crops. Nevertheless, this chemical is known to have a considerable damaging effect on the ozone layer as well as human and animal health. For these reasons, governments throughout the world, under the umbrella of the Montreal Protocol, have recognized the need to reduce and subsequently eliminate the use of this substance.

Summary Context The Syria Crisis, now in its fourth year, has forced more than nine million people to flee their homes. Around 6 million of these are believed to be internally displaced within Syria, while more than three million people have fled the country altogether. Lebanon, despite being the smallest of the countries neighbouring Syria, hosts the largest population of displaced Syrians. According to the data published by the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) 1,146,405 displaced Syrians have registered in Lebanon since the onset of the crisis 1. This significant population of displaced Syrians, approximately amounting to one quarter of the Lebanese population, has taken refuge in up to 1,700 neighbourhoods, towns, and villages across the country; indeed, latest data suggests that many localities have more displaced Syrians than Lebanese host community members.

  • World Food Programme
    Secondary Data Analysis: Lebanon Preface After its two year anniversary, the Syrian Emergency Operation maintains its objective of relieving the very basic needs of the one million-plus needy refugees which now populate the neighboring countries of Jordan, Turkey, Lebanon, Iraq, and Egypt. A separate Secondary Data Analysis was completed for the countries of Jordan, Turkey and Iraq. This Secondary Data Analysis focuses on the food security of both host and refugee populations in Lebanon – a country currently struggling to satisfy the demands of an extra quarter its population size. The desk review investigates what information is accessible and what types of primary data collection methods and surveillance systems are needed in order to fill in the existing information gaps to support programming and planning in a highly dynamic environment where the influx of refugees and their needs are at the increase. The review draws from existing reports to a) consolidate food security related formation; b) identify gaps; c) identify needs for further primary data collection. A consultant was hired in March 2013 for a period of two weeks, to work under the coordination of the Programme Unit of the Syria sub-region Emergency Coordination January to 10 February 2013. The consultant was requested to apply a critical view on the findings and also to provide recommendations to support information management. In that regard, the views of the Author does not necessarily reflect those of WFP. The Desk Review Author Irene Babille is a young professional with relevant experience on Reporting, Monitoring and Evaluation. She holds a masters degree in Global Studies, Conflict, Security & Development from University of Sussex, Brighton, England, and working experience in India, the UK and Jordan, where she was an intern and volunteer supporting the Syria emergency.
