Oil revenues have made Libya rich since 1961, when oil exports
began. This new wealth has affected all sectors of the economy and
especially the agricultural sector; there have been considerable
movements of population, changes in the use of land, and, possibly
most important, there has been a profound change in the
expectations of the Libyan people. Agriculture was the major
contributor to GDP before oil and even in 1968 it was still the
major sector in terms of employment, occupying 32 per cent of the
employed population; as such it has always been given prominence in
government planning. This study begins by introducing the major
economic and geographical features relevant to agricultural
development and examines the extension of agricultural activity in
the twentieth century, prior to independence in 1951. The later
chapters deal with the changes which have taken place since the
discovery of oil with respect to land use in all parts of Libya,
and deals in detail with agricultural investment and wages. First
published in 1973.
This comprehensive, thematically indexed bibliography devoted to
Afghanistan now and yesterday will help readers to efficiently find
their way in the massive secondary literature available. Following
the pattern established by one of its major data sources, the
acclaimed Index Islamicus, both journal articles and book
publications are included and expertly indexed. An indispensable

nation so much the focus of attention today.
