ABSTRACT
Dr. Adda Guecioueur reviewed the existing situation of Arab agriculture and suggested solutions to solve problems and at the same time develop the agricultural sector in a regional, integrative way. He based his presentation and analysis on three indicators, namely, the contribution of the agricultural sector in the labor force, the gross domestic product and export earnings. There is a general consensus that agricultural integration is a prerequisite for development in the Arab countries that suffer from a weak system of production. Several formulas for agricultural integration exist. One such formula is that of a comprehensive integration as an essential step toward Arab economic unity. Finally, it should be noted that integration in the agricultural sector is one of the most difficult types of integration to achieve because of the stagnant technical process in this sector, because of the fear of failure, and because governments bear the responsibility of supplying food to the citizens of their respective countries.
