Lebanese Agriculture Minister on War Impact
Lebanese Minister of Agriculture Nizar Hani stated that the war has negatively affected 25% of Lebanon's agricultural land and caused losses and destruction during the recent conflict with Israel, amounting to over $700 million. Estimates indicate that direct damages reached $118 million, with total losses estimated at $586 million between October 2023 and November 2024, focusing on the affected areas in southern Lebanon and the Beqaa Valley. The government is working on rehabilitating the damaged land and agricultural equipment, developing a plan to increase value-added products, and implementing security measures to prevent drug trafficking, amid the displacement of more than a million people from the impacted regions.
