Iraq Announces Start of Strategic Barley Export

The Iraqi Ministry of Agriculture announced on Saturday the opening of exports for the strategic barley crop to foreign markets, aiming to enhance the agricultural sector's export capabilities. This decision was made following directives from the Prime Minister's office and with the approval of the Minister of Agriculture, highlighting that the measure comes after achieving high production levels that meet domestic demand and provide surplus quantities for export. The ministry's spokesperson confirmed ongoing coordination with relevant authorities to facilitate administrative and logistical procedures for exporters and farmers, ensuring smooth export operations, supporting the national economy, and diversifying income sources. This initiative reflects the government's commitment to supporting the agricultural sector in all its aspects, both plant and animal, and strengthening the national product in international markets.
