The agricultural sector is considered one of the most important economic activities that contribute to employing large numbers of the labor force. This agricultural labour includes the agricultural holders and their household members who depend on the financial return of this sector for their livelihood in addition to the basic products of this sector for the consumption of citizens.

The Department of Statistics (DoS) has carried out different agricultural surveys that included the crops activity. Several field rounds were conducted for collecting data on the area cultivated with winter and summer crops and their production. The surveys have provided data on the agricultural employment in terms of labour size and its distribution by type, sex, nationality, age group and other data used by decision makers and data users.
