Abstract

The agricultural development acquired its significance from the importance and validity of the agricultural sector in which it works and moves. The agricultural sector is considered to be the main source for the capitation and liberates the man power. At the same time the agriculture sector is the cardinal resource to support the local industries with the basic raw material and a wide market to process its goods. Therefore, the agricultural development is considered to be the necessary first steps to accomplish the comprehensive development. The current study adopted the Path Analysis approach to examine the agricultural factors that affect rainfall in Yemen Republic through (2000-2020). The findings showed that the Path coefficients calculated by the two ways are identical. The findings also showed that the variables that have direct effect on GDP are Water irrigation and Labor productivity respectively.
