Production

   

If given adequate support, agricultural production has potentials in Rachaya al Foukhar thanks to its fertile soil and mild climate. It can produce the following:

. Olive production: unofficial statistics reveal that Rachaya al Foukhar can produce up to 300 tons of olives per year. There are two olive oil presses in town, the first owned by the sons of Hani Esper in the western part of the village, while the second is owned by Bekai and Asaad Elias Ghorayyeb.

. Grapes and figs: due to negligence, this production decreased since the late sixties, early seventies. However, this trend was reversed since the eighties when many inhabitants started showing interest in this field. Thus, Arak production witnessed an important increase.

. Cattle production: there are eight farms in town.
