Tons.
The quantities of animal and vegetable production were distributed according to the type of product. With regard to animal production, the volume of cow milk production in commercial animal production farms reached about 168,273 tons, representing 58% of the total animal production, while the production of meat reached
Poultry is about 50,718 tons, representing 18% of the animal production, followed by the production of table eggs, which accounted for 15% of the total animal production, reaching 42,916 tons, then red meat by 9%, and the volume of production reached 25,662 tons.
As for the vegetable sector, the production of dates acquired the largest proportion of it, reaching about 258,335 tons, representing 61% of the total plant production, compared to 39% for the production of vegetables and fruits, with a total production of 163,189 tons.
