The General Union of Peasants (GUP) is the sole organisation/industry association for farmers in Syria. Founded in 1964, the Union was formed from numerous agricultural cooperatives that had been active in Syria since 1943.[2]

The Union distributes a magazine relating to the activities and goals of the union, this magazine is called "The Journal of the Struggle of the Peasants".[3]

In the ceremony, Secretary General Ahmed Saleh Ibrahim further emphasized loyalty to the Politics of Syria/Syrian government.
