other agrarian group, farming 17% of their total veyetable
crop land area with eggplants, while the other agrarian
classes farmed between 11-12% of their totai vegetable crop
area with eggplants. All agrarian classes, with the exception
of farming-shepherds (6% of their total holding), farmed 12-
13% of their total aggregate vegetable land area with
courgettes. Thus, in aggregate terms, there was very little
difference between the different agrarian social classes in
terms of the relative distribution of the aggregate land area
they use for cropping their most important vegetable crops.
There was much more diversity between the agrarian classes in
terms of their production of other vegetable crops which were
not so clearly directed to market specialisation and for
which there were no clear direct economic growth benefits
based on HYV's.
I1I. AGGREGATE AREA OF FRUIT PRODUCTION
The data show that of the 579 dunums of land under fruit
production almost the whole of this (99%) was given over to
the production of citrus fruit and 1% to the production of
bananas (see Table 56). One very clear reason for
specialisation in citrus fruit production is the fact that
the planting of vines and plum trees is prohibited by Israeli
military orders. Apart from this, the area is not
particularly suitable for other types of fruit. The climatic
conditions are ideal for semi-tropical and even tropical
fruit, although water restrictions and soil conditions
mitigate against the production of more exotic fruits. Even
