Shafaq News- Baghdad
Iraqi Trade Ministry on Friday released 100 billion dinars
(about $65M) to farmers who marketed their wheat during the 2025 agricultural
season.
Haider Nouri Al-Kargaawi, Director General of the General
Company for Grain Trading, said the payment is part of a series of
disbursements backed by “large” government allocations to cover farmers’
entitlements, adding that the funds will be distributed across all provinces
this week to ensure swift delivery.
Wheat harvesting is underway across Iraq, with Karbala
expecting production of around 300,000 tons this season, while Kirkuk is
projected to reach about 600,000 tons with average yields of 1,250 kilograms
per dunam (0.25 hectares), and Basra recording preliminary yields of about 750
kilograms per dunam.
