4.2.5.1 Current situation<br />

Agriculture is an important sector of the economy, representing 13.7 per cent of the gross domestic product<br />

(GDP) and providing 30 per cent of all employment. The agriculture in the Governorate of <strong>Luxor</strong> is relatively<br />

well developed, but in the City of <strong>Luxor</strong> there is only little number of farmers. There are no forestry areas in<br />

the Governorate, but there is one in the City of <strong>Luxor</strong>.<br />

In 2015, the agriculture sector consumed 4 GWh/year for irrigation and crop processing. Agriculture activities<br />

surrounding the city are a combination of sugar cane, wheat, bananas and vegetables. Sugar cane and dried<br />

tomatoes from <strong>Luxor</strong> are very famous.<br />

The total crop area in the city of <strong>Luxor</strong> is 65,959 acres of which 25,760 acres of sugarcane 17,101 of wheat<br />

13,712 of corn and 9,422 of other crops. Apart from poultry, animal production is very limited as shown<br />

below.<br />

One of the biggest problems in agriculture is the burning of pre-harvest sugar cane, which is the main<br />

cultivated crop in the city of <strong>Luxor</strong> (production: 237 tons/ season).<br />

Around 337,110 tons are burned every year causing visible pollution in the air.<br />
