The Farms Association announced Thursday evening that its member farms span 1.1 million dunams (approx. 1,100 sq km) of Area C in Judea and Samaria — about one-third of the total 3.5 million dunam area — comprising 130 individual farms. The declaration follows an earlier report by The Zioneer on the association's comprehensive farm map.
The Farms Association on Thursday evening issued a precise statement specifying that its 130 member farms control 1.1 million dunams of Area C in Judea and Samaria — approximately one-third of the total 3.5 million dunam area. The announcement refines the association's earlier declarations: at 16:50 Jerusalem, it published a comprehensive farm map identifying approximately 130 farms covering over 1.1 million dunams, with 40 farms established in the last two years. Then at 17:51 Jerusalem, the association declared it controls 'more than 1.1 million dunams' and claimed the ability to extend control by an additional roughly 1 million dunams. The latest statement drops the expansion claim and provides exact figures rather than approximate ones. The map, as The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, shows farms concentrated in the Jordan Valley, eastern Samaria, eastern Binyamin, and the southern Hebron Hills. It remains unclear why the association omitted the expansion potential from its latest statement.
