SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The purpose of this research is the study of the
possibility of the agricultural integration between the
Arab countries for increasing agricultural production
and farmers income. The data aaed in this research are
obtained from various sources. Published data were
obtained from the Ministry of Agriculture in Egypt and
the Kinistry of Agriculture and Agricultural Rewform in
Iraq. Unpublished data were obtained through a quest innaire
administered by the researcher in [1 Khalsa
villige in Iraq; The village where Egyptian farmers
were trqnsferred and habituated.
Statistical methods and ;icro and macro economic
theory were used in the analysis. Data revealed the
absence of pronortionality in quantities of labor resources.
Consequently, problems of shordages in supply of
agricultural production relative to demand have arised.
Agricultural integration between Arab countries can
be achieved through freedom of movement of labor and
capital resources to here they can be more productive
in new agricultural land areas. It should be accompanied
by fee t trade, production and marketing retulations, an
coordination of Arab countries agricultural pelicies.
The data have indicated the possibility of adding
200 million reddan to the agricultural land in the Arab
----_ .._~~-~~~~-
countries. Proportion of the agricultural labor to total
labor vafied considerably in Arab countries, from low of
1_% in Jordan and 6% in Iraq to a high of 25% in Egypt.
A surplus of agricultural labor was clear in Egypt
where there were 176 worker per 100 hectars of agricultural
land compared to an average of 8 worker per 100
hectars in the arab countries. This study has further
indicated a continuous ftend of increase in shortages
of supply of agricultural products to demand in Egypt.
On the other hand the data of Iraq have showed 48
millions donums of arable land in Iraq or about 23
millions feedans. The actual utlized area was only 23
killions donums or about 11 millions feddans. Only 6
millions reddans were under cultivation.
To examine the possibility of agricultural resource
integration between arab countries, an experiment was carried
out by transferring 95 Egyptian fafm families to
Iraqi agricultural land where they were habituated in El
Khalsa v81lage~ and became owners of agricultural land.
An agricultural cooperative organization was organized
for purchasing farm supplies and mafketing farm products
in addition to providing egricultural extent ion services.
A suitable infrastructure xas also provided. The
total area of the village was 1725 donums. Each farm
family obtained between 15 and 26 donums according to
family size. Actual farming started in 1976/77 when the
growed wheat, oats, corn and vegetables.
In 1982/83, income per farm averaged 365 dinars
per year from selling animal products and 854 dinars
from growing and selling winter and summer crops, or a
total income of 1219 dinars from both animal and
crop productio~ per year. This is in addition to other
benefits to the farm families such as becoming owners
of the land~ having a suitable home, and receiving
health and eductional services-. Such experiment has
proved the benefit of agricultural resources integration
between the Arab c04ntries.
from this study, we can rcommend first,~freedom of
movement of agricultural labor between Arab counturies.
Second, establishing agricultural integfation fund for
supporting and financing agricultual projects similar
to El Khalsa project.
