    Now in its seventh year, the conflict has taken an even more devastating toll on the agriculture sector. In 2018, it is estimated that at least 1.5 million Syrians will be newly displaced, while around 1 million internally displaced people are expected to return to their communities of origin. As the crisis protracts in the Syrian Arab Republic, without immediate support, households in rural communities are no longer able to make a living through agriculture alone – their main source of income.

    The protracted crisis coupled with the most severe drought in decades has resulted in persisting food insecurity along with reduced agricultural production in the Syrian Arab Republic in 2018. Internally displaced people, returnees and host communities are facing large food consumption gaps, depleted coping strategies and a large food expenditure share. As food insecurity levels are expected to remain high, strengthening agricultural production is essential to ensure availability and access to food. FAO requires USD 120 million to assist 3.5 million people during from January to December 2019.
