It becomes a serious food security problem for most Yemeni population, through the status and potentials of available farming resources of food production, cropping pattern components, high population growth compared to agricultural production and the high decrease of natural and human resources development. This is despite that about 54% of total labor force are working in agriculture (about 4,350,000 inhabitants), and its being an economic income for about 55% of the total population (22,200.000 inhabitants). Contrarily, the value of food and agricultural exports is lowering to less than 9 and 2% of values of gross agricultural trade and Yemeni food trade exports (about 875 million US$) for the period from 2006-2010.
