In spite of the increase in cultivate areas by this crop in Iraq, it still cant crop with the local demands. As for Syria. There are an increase in the areas planted with this crop, together with the increase in production, which covers the needs of the population increase, provide a chance for export probabilities to other countries. Thus this research aimed to define the time development, for each of production power, the cultivated zone, and the hectare productivity both in Iraq and Syria the period of (1981-2010) .The research concluded that the average growth of the Syrian production power, amount of to (12.91) is higher than the average growth of production power achieved in Iraq, which amounted (0.03) .
