Lebanon’s Agriculture Just Got A Major Boost!
Lebanon landed a huge $200 million loan from the World Bank to give its farming sector a fresh start and strengthen food security across the country.
Modernizing Farming for the Future
This loan is part of the Green Agri-Food Transformation for Economic Recovery (GATE) program. It’s all about making farming stronger, smarter, and more productive — helping Lebanon tackle economic and climate challenges while growing exports.
Big Benefits for Farmers and Communities
Around 80,000 farmers will get access to new digital tools, helping them work more efficiently. The program will protect 22,000 existing jobs and create 2,200 new ones — that’s a real boost for people’s livelihoods!

Investing in a Greener Tomorrow
The plan also includes better water access for 17,000 farmers and vaccinations for nearly 10,000 livestock. Over 110 municipalities will see their farming potential strengthened. This 24-year loan is planting the seeds for a brighter, more sustainable future in Lebanon’s fields.
