The Agro-Industry sector is a major contributor to the growth of Lebanon’s industrial sector and is expected to continue to play a major role in the economy, driven by government support and private sector initiatives.
There are around 1,400 Agro-food companies constituting the largest share of total industrial firms in Lebanon.
Exports of agro-food products accounted for 15% of total exports and 16% of total industrial exports in 2018. Despite all external and internal challenges, agro-food exports have been growing at a compounded annual growth rate of 4% since 2009, demonstrating the sector’s resilience and potential.
