Agriculture is considered one of the most important economic sectors in the country, as it contributes to achieving food security. However, the sector is witnessing several challenges that affect its productivity and development, including the need for more government investment. This study represents an attempt to analyze the impact of government investment spending on the agricultural sector and estimate the extent of its impact on productivity. The study is based on an in-depth review of the available literature and analysis of data related to government investment spending and the performance of the agricultural sector.
