Abstract

This  study aims to analyze the dynamic of fruitful olive trees production, in the country during two time periods the first (2000-2010) and the second (2011-2021), and determine trends lines for production, area, and productivity by two ways ( semi-averages method and mathematical method), in addition to examine the statistical significance of these trend lines.

In addition to determine the level of spatial concentration and specialization for each governorate of the country during study period. in every governorate in Syria to show impact the spatial diversities.
