of arable land are to be reclaimed constituting about (20,000)
farms to be irrigated by GMRA which would eventually lead to the
settlement of (20,000) Libyan families; thus,
another(100,000) farms shall be included within GMRA's
complementary irrigation plan in different areas of the Jamahiriya
(Al-Jeffara and Benghazi plains, Sirt valleys…..etc) which would
give a rise to the production rate and to the reflexive immigration
from city to village, also encouraging farmers and their families
