Iraq's shift from food independence to reliance
The article discusses the decline of the agricultural sector in Iraq, which has increasingly come to depend on importing food products rather than achieving self-sufficiency. This shift is attributed to factors such as water shortages, rising production costs, weak government support, and inadequate infrastructure. Agricultural experts have affirmed that continued neglect and the absence of reforms will lead to a reduction in cultivated areas and higher food prices, threaten the country's food security, and increase reliance on imports. They called for the development of a clear national strategy that includes genuine reforms to transform the agricultural sector into a cornerstone of economic growth and social stability. They warned that delaying implementation would deepen the crisis and escalate future costs.
