The Tubas Agricultural Center in the northeastern West Bank is widely regarded as the 'breadbasket' of Palestine. Its unique geography, tucked away between the central highlands and the fertile Jordan Valley, allows for year-round production of a wide variety of crops. The region is particularly famous for its winter vegetables, utilizing extensive greenhouse networks to supply essential produce like tomatoes and peppers to the markets of Nablus and Jenin. In addition to horticulture, Tubas is a major hub for livestock farming, with large herds of sheep and goats grazing on the surrounding hills, supporting a robust dairy and meat industry. The local farming cooperatives play a crucial role in modernizing agricultural practices and ensuring that Tubas remains a vital economic engine and a primary provider of food security for the northern Palestinian territories.
