The General Union of Peasants (GUP) was the sole organisation/industry association for farmers in Ba'athist Syria. Founded in 1964, the Union was formed from numerous agricultural cooperatives that had been active in Syria since 1943.[4]

The Union distributed a magazine relating to the activities and goals of the union, this magazine is called "The Journal of the Struggle of the Peasants".[5]

The union was closely linked with the ruling Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and was a member of the National Progressive Front.[4] 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 Syrian government. Numerous high-ranking members of the ruling Ba'ath party attended the ceremony.[6]

Following the fall of the Assad regime, the GUP was dissolved by the Syrian transitional government on 29 January 2025.[7]
