AGRICULTURE AND AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES IN 19TH CENTURY

Abstract

The Agricultural activities of Nestorians, which was one of the Christian societies in Middle East in the 19th century, were carried out according to the geographical structure of the area they lived in. While they performed their agricultural activities in vast plains in Northwest Iran, they used terraces in deep valley created by rivers in Hakkari area. Wheat, walnut, mulberry, corn, grape, tobacco and melon were the main agricultural products. Grape and tobacco, being export products, were of more importance. Because of the climate of the area, they occasionally experienced draughts. As a result, Nestorians performed for rain prayer in the times of shortages

XIX. Yüzyılda Nasturilerde Tarım ve Tarımsal Faaliyetler

Öz

XIX. yüzyıl Ortadoğu’sunda yaşayan Hıristiyan bir topluluk Nasturilerde tarımsal faaliyetler bulundukları ülkelerin coğrafi yapısına göre yapılmıştır. Kuzey batı İran’da tarım, geniş ovalarda yapılırken; Hakkâri bölgesinde akarsuların aşındırdığı derin vadilerde oluşturulan teraslarda yapılmıştır. Buğday, ceviz, dut, mısır, darı, üzüm tütün, kavun başlıca yetiştirilen tarım ürünlerdir. Bu ürünlerden özellikle üzüm ve tütün, dışa satım konusunda diğer ürünlere göre daha fazla ön plandadır. Bölgenin iklimden dolayı, zaman zaman kuraklıklar meydana gelmiştir. Bu nedenle Nasturiler, kıtlık zamanlarında yağmur duasına çıkmışlardır.
