Erratic weather conditions across most of the Syrian regions,
especially in the main cereal producing areas of the country in
2021 raised the need for an assessment based on well-established
and recognized criteria to produce crop estimates comparable with
previous assessments. In response to the request by the Government
of the Syrian Arab Republic to conduct an analysis of the
agricultural production in the 2020/21 crop season, in light of
critical weather conditions, difficult economic environment
exacerbated by other challenges, the FAO carried out an independent
Crop and Food Supply Assessment Mission (CFSAM) to estimate the
2021 cereal production, to assess the overall situation of the
agricultural sector and to gauge prospects for the upcoming 2021/22
season. Given the travel restrictions, the mission relied on the
network of resilience officers employed by the FAO Country Office
that have detailed knowledge of local agricultural conditions and
agro-ecological zones based across the different governorates. The
field information collection took place between June and July 2021.
Information was also provided by the Ministry of Agriculture and
Agrarian Reform (MAAR) and several other relevant ministries and
state bodies as well as by provincial departments of agriculture
