And food exports, food imports, and a decline in the net balance deficit in each of them, and subsequently an increase in the self-sufficiency rate of food agricultural crops. The study showed the positiveness of previous indicators on correcting the course of Kuwaiti agricultural policy, and the study recommends this.  Conclusively, this study recommends taking measures and methods that help increase the amount of agricultural production and achieve efficiency in agricultural production, which leads to improving economic indicators of the agricultural sector.
