ABSTRACT
I have to express my thanks and respect to Dr. Adda Guecioueur for his valuable effort in trying to shed light on one of the basic problems of the Arab World, our food security, which requires a quick solution if we want to guarantee our existence and our independence. Dr. Guecioueur reviewed the existing situation of Arab agriculture and suggested solutions to solve current problems and at the same time develop the agricultural sector in a regional, integrative way. He based his presentation and analysis on three indicators, namely, the contribution of the agricultural sector in the labor force, the gross domestic product (GDP), and export earnings. I should like to make brief comments on some of these.
