D. The Transformation of Agriculture
This is mainly capitalist transformation of predominantly petty commo-
dity agriculture production. Reference is to the co-operative/collective
sector of agriculture; not to traditionally commercial agriculture (citrus
plantations) in the coastal region of Israel. e
As the case in the transformation of the petty commodity forms of in-
.
dustrial production, this process was also stimulated by the advanced capi-
talist transformation of the entire economy, especially its militarization,
on the one hand, and the abundance of cheap Palestinian labor, on the other.
Transformations in the relations of production and the productive for-
ces after the Six-Day War affected transformation in land tenure and use.
This applies both to Palestinian land in the occupied territories and to
Israel "National Land".
Nothing is unique about the pattern of transformation in the tradi-
tional Palestinian land tenure upon the integration of the West Bank and
the Gaza Strip to the Israeli branch of central capitalism. It is very
much the same process prevalent in dependent capitalist peripheries the
world over: landlords becoming absentee capitalists, mainly money capital-
ists; concentration of land for commercialized agricultural production --
plantations. Tenants and share-croppers transformed into cash-croppers,
agricultural proletariat.
In a plan published in Al-Hamishmar, October 7, 1976, Raanan Wietz
proposed the introduction of a Green Revolution technology, specifically
high-yield grain-seed varieties to the West Bank. If implemented, this
plan will further the transformation of both land tenure and use. - تاريخ
