And Its Exsiting Challenges among Industries

Palestine is a country that is heavily devastated during the war with Israel and experience many conflict inside the nation. It also suffers from restriction on the trade of goods, labour, and capital. Hence, the social and economic climate is very challenging for Palestine in order to gain economic achievement. As a result, productivity is considered the most crucial and deciding point to help Palestine overcome these difficulties. This writing presents some key factors that help Palestine deal with challenges in three main industries namely construction, agriculture, and technology. Those factors include leadership skill, employees’ ability improvement, equipment and machine, and capacity of accessing to international market.

The biggest challenge in construction industry in Palestine is management and leadership skill. Andrew (2014) stated that the connection between managers and supervisors with employees and workers has not been mainly focused on (para.5). In Palestine, managers fail to give timely feedback when workers complete a task or a work in any plants.  Because such kind of information is not exchanged, workers find it difficult to carry on the next works and they tend to do it the wrong way, leading to the waste of time and money. Managers and supervisors cannot closely and strictly monitor the workload and workers therefore have no idea of what they should do to make a good construction work.

The second challenge that Palestine faces is the shortage of systematic infrastructure. Andrew (2014) wrote that construction managers have a very limited access to quality equipment as well as construction plants (para.6). This matter leads to the poor quality of construction. The unavailability of equipment and tool will slow down the business and make it less competitive in the global market. Regarding to agriculture industry, Andrew also agreed that Palestinian farmers also have to increase productivity and efficiency of farming by improving access to specifically arranged machinery and equipment (2014, para.13). The cost of producing commodity is always very higher than other countries’ production cost. Lacking of farming equipment and tools also means a result of poor quality of products and make it less competitive in the global market.

Improvement of Productivity in Agriculture Industry

Palestine is having many challenges and opportunity in doing business with other countries. They have an edge of cheap labour cost yet their productivity is quite low due to the restriction on access to cutting edge technology and equipment. The country attempt to find out some economic focuses to develop and it is suggested that Palestine should mostly pay attention to agriculture as this is one of the most important industries in the world in the 21st century.
