What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The agricultural sector in Syria is transitioning toward investment and modernization, supported by international efforts. An IMF report published in August 2026 forecasts that Syria's economy is expected to grow by around 10% by the end of 2026. Separately, an experiment in Syria demonstrated that hydroponics can reduce water use by 75% to 90% compared to conventional farming.

The adoption of water-efficient farming methods addresses challenges like drought and water shortages in Syria. This modernization effort contributes to the broader economic outlook, which the IMF attributes to improving performance in agriculture, trade, and the return of refugees.
