Around 70 kilograms per donun. On the other hand, the yield in
Jenin district has risen to over 250 kilograms per donum, due to
the adoption of better production techniques and relatively ample
fertilizer use. Although a sudden and substantial rise in productivity
in hilly areas is not anticipated, there is room for improving
Productivity even under those conditions, should there be an
Adequate supply of auxiliary services.
Profitability
Profitability of wheat production was ascertained on the basis of
& sample of 10 farmers representing all major producing districts,
(Jenin 5, Hebron 3, Ramallah 2). All sampled respondents had at
the time a minimum area of 7 donuns. Although mechanization levels
Varied from one sampled farm to another, none of them was of the
Strictly peasant type using conventional labour-intensive
techniques on tiny hilly plots. The results of this study are
Summarized in Table (VIII-5)
