Aresearch about the reasons of decline of the cotton cultivation and expansion in the cultivation of wheat cultivation in Sahl Al-Ghab zone between 2005-2013.
Abstract
Sahl Al-Ghab zone is characterized by the availability of natural and human appropriate conditions for the cultivation of cotton, and it's one of the most desired agricultural crops for export, in addition to the big need for local textile mills with both of its public and private sectors, and it's also one of the strategic and social crops. However, between 2005-2013, cotton cultivation fell back in this region to be replaced mainly by wheat in addition to other crops, and the main reasons for this decline is that there is no proportionality between the price of cotton and production costs, as the price of the kilogram of cotton rose from 31 S.P in 2005 to 100 S.P in 2013, while the price of the liter of diesel – the main factor in the cultivation of cotton – rose from 25 S.P in 2005 to 60 S.P in 2013. Through this research, We knew the reasons for the decrement of cotton cultivation in Sahl Al-Ghab zone and choosing the wheat and nothing else to replace it, especially that wheat cultivation didn't achieve better economic returns of cotton. On the contrary, it had negative results in terms of non-application of the agricultural cycle and the spread of diseases such as wheat rust disease that spreaded in Sahl Al-Ghab zone in the last years and which reflected negatively on production.
