Land use and agriculture[edit]
Hama is an important agricultural and industrial center in Syria, with 3,680 square kilometres (1,420 sq mi), over a third of the governorate's area, under cultivation. The governorate produces over half of the national crop of potatoes and pistachio nuts, as well as growing a variety of other vegetables. Livestock ranching is also common in the governorate.
Districts[edit]
The governorate is divided into five districts (manatiq):
- Al-Suqaylabiyah
- Hamah
- Masyaf
- Muhardeh
- Salamiyah
These are further divided into 22 sub-districts (nawahi).

Demographics[edit]
Hama Governorate is of Sunni majority, with a small Alawites and Christian population.
Civil war[edit]
For the most part, the governorate has stayed under the Syrian Government's control. As of February 2016, it remains under the Syrian Government's control, save for Opposition forces straddling the border with Idlib and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant occupying parts of the rural east.
On 21 September 2017, ISIL agreed to surrender all its remaining territory in the governorate to the Syrian Arab Army.[3]
