Introduction

The city of Jenin is located on the three sides of Marj Ibn Amir in Palestine; the site is seven hundred years old. It is considered very important because of its location; in the center of the jenin district, and it is the largest agriculture area in Palestine. Moreover, agriculture generates the biggest economic income in the area. In the 1967, Israelis occupied the area, and created an immigration movement to foreign countries; Palestinian farmers Started to move to other Arab and foreign countries away from the Israeli's occupation in the year 1967. As result, the economic situation started to derogate in this area; in addition, the occupation divided jenin area into sections and blocked it from doing business with its other neighboring countries. Jenin main and successful crops were watermelons and citrus. And those crops were exported heavily to Jordan, Arabic counties, Syria and Lebanon markets. When the Israeli occupation took place, The agriculture production decreased in jenin district and Palestine. For example, During the year of 1967 and 1969 the agriculture production's growth slid down drastically, And employment curve shifted toward Israeli's areas decause of The not ticable high wages. As a result, the agricultural sector weakened and started to go back to toward the unsuccessful traditional ways. Youngsters shifted to work in the construction and industrial sectors inside Israel. In fact, It is true that the West Bank and Gaza strip supplied the Israelis over the fast three decades with a source of great profit. The Israelis pillaged the sources of those occupied areas, used the cheaper labor force of Palestine and dumped inferior products in their markets. They profited in countless billions of dollars.

The Palestinians are offering Israel peace. We do not desire to complicate matters. All we want is to get our rights back, As any other human being looking for his or her independence. Therefore, Jenin chamber of commerce had to face such difficulties.
