This study, which examines the conditions of women in Lebanon’s agribusinesses, is the second gender analysis under the Productive Sectors Development Programme (PSDP). UN Women undertook an intersectional gender analysis during PSDP’s baseline phase. The analysis looked at the daily roles and responsibilities of women across fruit and vegetable value chains in the North of Lebanon. It focused on the voices and perspectives of women, recounting the opportunities and challenges in the agriculture sector. It found that women are deeply involved in various agricultural activities but continue to face limited access to resources, such as land and capital; cyclical issues related to personal status laws affecting marriage, family and inheritance; and risks of exploitation due to the high informality of the agriculture sector.
