In Libya, arable land in general is at a premium. Still, more than 5,000 hectares are used for strawberry cultivation in western Libya. Agricultural engineer Hatem Saad al-Magri, who specializes in growing strawberries and seasonal crops, has stated that strawberries are crops with a good economic return. This return can be increased by working on producing the crop at the right time for export, which starts from November to April. He stressed the need to take care of producing fruits with desirable horticultural specifications that are free from biological and chemical pollution.
