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. -
