Middle East and North Africa Agriculture Market Analysis

The Agriculture Market In MENA Region Industry is expected to grow from USD 42.76 million in 2025 to USD 56.41 million by 2030, at a CAGR of 5.7% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

  • The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region encompasses 14 low and middle-income countries or territories from Iran to Morocco. In 2023, the region's population reached 500.7 million, with 165.3 million residing in rural areas. Approximately 89 million people depend on agriculture, including fishing and livestock. The region spans 1,200 million hectares and features diverse environments.
  • Agricultural practices in the region are diverse. Rainfed crops, including wheat, barley, legumes, olives, grapes, fruits, and vegetables, are cultivated during the wetter winter period. Irrigated areas support year-round cultivation, particularly of subtropical crops such as fruits and vegetables. Livestock, predominantly sheep and goats, play a significant role in many farming systems, creating important linkages between different agricultural systems.
  • The MENA region faces a growing dependence on international markets for staple food products due to the increasing scarcity of arable land and water resources. In response, some governments have implemented water conservation measures, such as prohibiting the cultivation of water-intensive crops like wheat and green fodder. Food demand in the region is rising, primarily driven by population growth and increasing incomes.
  • According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), land reform remains a significant challenge in the region. Many farmers maintain fragmented holdings without rationalization or consolidation processes, even in countries officially undertaking land reforms. Substantial changes have occurred mainly where larger operators can acquire land from smaller farmers. The reorganization of land holdings is widely recognized as essential for implementing technologies to conserve soil and water resources in the long term.
  • The agriculture sector's growth in the region is projected to be driven by the effective use of agricultural resources, adoption of new technologies, and favorable policies. However, the sector faces constraints, including lower GDP in African countries and farm labor shortages, particularly for high-value crops. Despite these challenges, there has been an increased consumption of cereals and fruits in the region, reflecting a growing preference for healthy and nutritional diets.
