APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Khan Younis - 02 May 2021. Palestinian farmers harvest wheat at a field in an area adjacent to the border with Israel, in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip

STORYLINE

Wheat is a grass widely cultivated for its seed, a cereal grain which is a worldwide staple food.The many species of wheat together make up the genus Triticum; the most widely grown is common wheat (T. aestivum). The archaeological record suggests that wheat was first cultivated in the regions of the Fertile Crescent around 9600 BCE. Botanically, the wheat kernel is a type of fruit called a caryopsis.

Agriculture in the State of Palestine is a mainstay in the economy of the State of Palestine.

This led to a decrease in the number of employed persons in the local market from 877,000 employed persons in 2019 to 830,000 employed persons in 2020, and the number of employed persons in Israel and settlements decreased from about 133,000 in 2019 to 125,000 employed persons in 2020, said Awad.
