يسهم القطاع الزراعي السوري مساهمة كبيرة في الاقتصاد الوطني باعتباره يؤمن فرص عمل لنحو 50 % من القوة العاملة السورية. إضافة إلى تأمينه الغذاء و الكساء للمواطنين و المادة الأولية للصناعات التحويلية الوطنية، و يخفف من عجز الميزان التجاري. و يعد محصول القطن من أهم المحاصيل الاستراتيجية و الاجتماعية حيث يعمل به ما يقارب 18 % من الأيدي العاملة، بدءًا من عملية الزراعة حتى إيصال المنتج إلى المستهلك. إضافة إلى ذلك فهو محصول تصديري، حيث يشمل ذلك القطن الخام و المحلوج و المغزول و المنسوج و الألبسة بما قيمته عشرات المليارات من الليرات السورية. تشغل زراعة القطن أكثر من 20 % من المساحة المروية المزروعة سنويًا، و هذا ما يظهر أهميته النسبية في الزراعة السورية. لهذا شملت دراستنا الاقتصادية لمحصول القطن العديد من الجوانب الزراعية-الإنتاجية، التجارية الاجتماعية و التصنيعية. اعتمدت الدراسة على بيانات إحصائية رسمية حللت و نوقشت وفق الأسس العلمية المعتمدة لمثل هذه الدراسات. ساعدت النتائج التي تم التوصل إليها في الإجابة عن بعض النقاط السلبية لمنتقدي زراعة محصول القطن، و الداعين لإيجاد المحصول البديل الملائم لظروف الزراعة المروية في سورية.
The Syrian Agricultural Sector plays an important role in the national economy for the sector offers jop opportunities for about 50% of the total Syrian Labor Forces. Furthermore, the sector Provides foods and clothes for citizens, raw materials for national industry and ameliorates trade balance deficit. Cotton is considered one of the social and strategic crop because about 18% of the total Syrian Labor Forces are engaged in cotton affairs starting from plantation to consumers. Additionally, cotton is an exporting crop. In this regard, cotton exporting goods include raw materials, delinted, weaving, textiles and clothes with values of tenths of billions of Syrian Pounds annually. - Cotton cultivation comprises about 20% of the annually irrigated areas, and thus reflecting its relative importance of the Syrian Agriculture. Therefore, our economical study on cotton includes several aspects such as agricultural, productivity, trading, social and industrialization. The study is based on official statistical data, which was been analyzed and discussed in according with certified scientific principles for such studies.

The process of soil restoration is one of the most important methods of vertical and
horizontal expansion in the agricultural sector; it works to increase the effectiveness of
investments on the one hand, and to accelerate mass production on the ot
her hand. The
processes of reclamating lands include a big number of important procedures that directly
affect the utilization of agricultural lands. On top of these procedures come: constructing
dams, building modern systems and nets for irrigation and sanitation, reclamating saline
soil, protecting soil from drift and erosion, stopping encroachment of desert, settling land
slopes, getting rid of stones, building terraces in slopes, drilling artesian wells, improving
pastures, and cultivation green belts.
The Syrian government developed a multiple-target-agricultural strategy including
primarily increasing the reclaimed areas, using modern techniques for irrigation (drip and
spray), as well as providing water for irrigation through the construction of several dams.
This made the total irrigated area in the country about 1399 thousand hectares in 2011, i.e.
about 24.5% of the cultivated land. The percentage of irrigated areas using this method is
about 22.4% of the total irrigated area in the country. These actions positively affected the
productivity of crops, vegetables and fruit trees, so that the winter irrigated crops reached
5–10 times the non–irrigated crops, and the summer irrigated crops reached 4 times the
non–irrigated crops.
The Multi-model transport system inSyria is considered of
slow evolution systems as it is capital intensive in alldifferent
means (land،marine،air،pipelines) and thus predominated by a
high fixed cost economic feature،and this causes an obstacle t
o
the development of multi-modeltransport،and therefore its inability
to compete.
But the hard work in improving thetransportation sector (by
land،sea،air) and the different modes (train،truck،ship،aircraft) and
following the necessarystrategies and logistics to help in
developing it،made the transport sector in Syria contributes a
significant proportion of GDP.
The concept of competitiveness is a new economic concept characterized by
dynamism and consists of three axes, which are basic requirements, efficiency enhancers
and creativity development factors. Therefore, attention must be paid to competitivene
ss
and benefit should be obtained from its concept to achieve economic development, growth
and improving people's living standard.
In this research we studied the relationship between per capita GDP as a touchstone
of economic growth on the one hand, and competitiveness index on the other. We also
determined priorities posed by competitive axes in calculating the value of this index to get
standard models that play a role in determining relations and predicting future values, and
determining the appropriate strategy for economic growth.
We concluded that the basic prerequisites play the largest role in the planning of
economic growth (45%), followed by boosters (34%), and we discovered that creativity
development factors play a trivial role in economic growth (21%). These results indicate
that the competitive index depends on the service and commercial hubs and creativity
development is not given the attention it deserves as it has an essential role in the economic
growth and cultural progress.
The study was conducted in the eastern region of Syria to know the extent of
cultivation development of wheat and cotton production and the factors
affecting these crops during 1996-2010. The results showed that the effect of
time on the productio
n and productivity of wheat was not changed statistically,
while the cotton area was decreased significantly during the study period. The
total production of wheat was also affected significantly and positively by
cultivated area and planting costs per hectare, and negatively by purchase
price, while the production of cotton was affected significantly and positively by
costs and purchase prices. According to the geographical region, the results
showed that the production in the eastern region was significantly affected by
Al-Raqqa production for wheat and cotton crops and Al-Hassake production
for wheat crop. However, wheat productivity at Deir Ezzor was significantly
superior compared to Al-Raqqa and Al-Hassake. The study recommended
expanding the cultivation of wheat and cotton and support and expand the role
of agricultural extension.

A 380-farmer random sample producing villages in both Latakia and
Tartous provinces was used to according to the contr

profits' averaged at 1.1 sp/kg, with total economic efficiency 1.1.
