Agriculture in Qatar : ウィキペディア英語版 | Agriculture in Qatar
Agriculture in Qatar is inherently limited in scope due to the harsh climate and lack of arable land. In spite of this, small-scale farming, nomadic herding, and fishing were the predominant means of subsistence in the region prior to the 20th century. Sea-based activities such as pearling and fishing served as the primary sources of income for Qataris until the commencement of oil drilling in 1939.〔 Although the relative importance of these activities has declined as a means of livelihood (with commercial pearling disappearing completely), the government has attempted to encourage agriculture and fishing to provide a degree of self-sufficiency in food.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Agriculture and Fishing ) 〕 ==History== Date palms were one of the earliest crops to be cultivated in the peninsula.〔 Beginning in the Bronze Age, the trading of date palms had a significant impact the Qatari economy. Pearling was the main source of income for Qatar's inhabitants until the discovery of oil the 20th century. Pearl trading was supplemented in some areas by breeding camels. Fishing also played a role in the economy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title='Gazetteer of the Persian Gulf. Vol. II. Geographical and Statistical. J G Lorimer. 1908' () (1647/2084) )〕
