Kurdistan Region Boosts Veg Self-Sufficiency
The Ministry of Agriculture in the Kurdistan Region confirmed that the region has reached full self-sufficiency in vegetable crop production and has become a major source to meet the needs of other Iraqi markets. It exports over one million tons of vegetables and fruits annually to central and southern Iraq. Officials also pointed out that crops such as basil, mint, and thyme are marketed in large commercial quantities after undergoing strict quality examinations. This production leap comes alongside an increase in the global market value of these aromatic plants, with basil's trade value expected to reach $2.48 billion by 2035, and mint's to approximately $11 billion by 2030, driven by growing demand in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food sectors.
