With a special emphasis on women’s livelihoods
2021Also available in:
This report first describes the context of the agriculture sector in Libya and in the south of the country, the impact of the ongoing conflict in the country since 2011 and of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the specific configuration of the sectors in the south of the country. Secondly, it describes the main challenges in the value chains and added value of selected major crops cultivated in the south of Libya, providing an analysis and assessment of the cooperatives and associations in the region with significant involvement and participation of women. This publication presents a holistics analysis and assessment of the value chains in Libya, particularly in the South where various agricultural crops are produced, including cereals and grains, fruits, and vegetables. The majority of the area cultivated for these agricultural commodities was given over to vegetables in Wahat (57 percent of this area), Murzuq (57 percent), Ubari (42 percent) and Wadi Etba (57 percent). The majority was used for fruits in Albwanis (88 percent), Kufra (70 percent), Sabha (74 percent) and Sharqiya (64 percent). Finally, the majority was used for cereals and grains in Ghat (59 percent), Qatrun (79 percent), Traghan (61 percent) and Wadi Shati (52 percent). In addition to the significant area cultivated and significant quantities produced of these selected crops in the region, this publication, based on the data gathered on agricultural production, alongside certain other factors and reasons, 16 crops have been selected for the evaluation and characterization of their value chains and added value. -

Book (stand-alone)Rapid flood impact assessment on water management infrastructure and agriculture in Eastern Libya in 2023 2025
Also available in:
No results found.In October 2023, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) carried out rapid geospatial flood impact assessment in Eastern Libya, employing state-of-the-art technology and satellite data. This assessment focused on six critical parameters: 1) annual water extent in dams and reservoirs, 2) flood extent mapping using Sentinel-1 data at 10-metre resolution, 3) a detailed land cover map derived from Sentinel-2 data for the year 2023 using national land cover reference system, 4) an assessment of population exposure to flood risks, 5) the extent of irrigated cropland, and 6) the exposure of farmers to flooded irrigated cropland. The administrative boundary layer from Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX) is used. The findings point towards the necessity of region-specific flood mitigation strategies that address both human and agricultural vulnerabilities, with a view to preserving food security and community livelihoods post-disaster.
