Abstract : Fruit growing is concentrated in 2 areas: the coastal region near Thiama for temperate fruits and the eastern desert for subtropical fruits. The area devoted to fruit growing has increased in recent years following a decline in the cereal acreage, increased demand for fruits resulting from increased family incomes, the increased availability of water for irrigation and the banning of fruit imports by the government in 1983. Notes are provided on the status of banana, date palm, pawpaw, mango, guava, coffee, citrus, dessert grape, peach, apricot, almond, apple, pear and quince growing in the country.
