Grape farming in the Gaza Strip is collapsing after years of conflict-related destruction, Palestine News Network reported. Farmers across the territory point to widespread land levelling, severe shortages of fertilisers and pesticides, and sharply rising production costs as the primary drivers behind the sector's decline from its formerly robust output.
The agricultural crisis underscores the broader economic deterioration in Gaza, where damage to farming infrastructure, disrupted supply chains, and mounting expenses have rendered cultivation increasingly difficult for producers. The obstacles compound existing challenges stemming from restricted market access and depleted resources, threatening the livelihoods of families long dependent on grape production.
