Syria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4066 words) |
 | Syria consists mostly of arid plateau, although the northwest part of the country bordering the Mediterranean is fairly green. |
| The government has redirected its economic development priorities from industrial expansion into the agricultural sectors in order to achieve food self-sufficiency, enhance export earnings, and stem rural migration. |
| One of the prime reasons for this turnaround has been the government's investment in huge irrigation systems in northern and northeastern Syria, part of a plan to increase irrigated farmland by 38% over the next decade. |
