Ben Arous allocates 16000 hectares for agriculture
Ben Arous Governorate plans to cultivate over 16,000 hectares during the 2026-2027 agricultural season, primarily focusing on cereal, fodder, legume, and industrial crop production. Cereal cultivation occupies the largest areas, particularly around 9,800 hectares, mostly relying on rainfed farming. This includes wheat (5,100 hectares) and barley (3,900 hectares). Fodder crops are also cultivated across approximately 4,959 hectares, mainly consisting of "Al-Qart" (a type of fodder). The region needs about 15,498 quintals of seeds and requires 9,500 tons of chemical fertilizers. Distribution points for these supplies have been identified in cooperation with local companies. The previous season's cereal production in Ben Arous was estimated at 300,000 quintals, along with 41,215 tons of fodder.
