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]

The union is closely linked with the ruling Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and is a member of the National Progressive Front.[2] In 2018 the union held a ceremony to celebrate the 54th anniversary of its establishment in Damascus. In the ceremony, Secretary General Ahmed Saleh Ibrahim further emphasized loyalty to the Politics of Syria/Syrian government. Numerous high-ranking members of the ruling Ba'ath party attended the ceremony.[4]
