The role of women in crop production Country Role of Women in Crop Production Cyprus Women's participation in crop production has increased as a result of male migration to urban areas to seek employment. Men and women are equally responsible for the production of potatoes, citrus, vines, greenhouse vegetables, pulses and deciduous fruit crops.
Women are responsible for planting, pruning, grafting, harvesting and processing grapes.
Women are involved in the sowing, planting, irrigating and spraying of many crops as well as in feed preparation. According to a special sample survey carried out in four governorates, women are active in all aspects of crop production, with the exception of land preparation and pest control. Iran The extent to which women participate in crop production in Iran depends primarily on farm size. Women from poor and small land-holdings are more actively engaged in crop production than women from larger and richer farms. The increase in the use of mechanization has also altered the nature of women's participation in crop production.
