Five threats to Iraq agriculture
The article addresses the challenges faced by the agricultural sector in Iraq. It highlights five main challenges, including climate change, drought, dependence on traditional farming methods, weak government support, chaos at border crossings, and delays in disbursing farmers' dues. Climate change leads to reduced crop production, especially since most lands rely on traditional irrigation systems, coupled with increased import of agricultural products from abroad. Experts recommend increasing the use of modern technologies, such as water-saving irrigation systems, and emphasize the necessity of developing a national strategy for food security management. Supporting the agricultural sector is crucial to strengthening food security and achieving economic stability, given that more than 50% of the workforce depends on agriculture. The article affirms that improving irrigation techniques, supporting local production, and regulating imports are essential steps to address these challenges and secure the future of agriculture in Iraq.
