Shafaq News- Baghdad<\/p>\n
Iraq has launched fish exports to global markets for the first time, Agriculture Minister Abdul Rahim Al-Shammari announced on Thursday, describing the step as an \u201cimportant achievement\u201d for the country.<\/p>\n
Al-Shammari said the move marks the beginning of wider ministry efforts to develop the agricultural sector, sustain production, remove obstacles, improve returns for fish farmers, and support the national economy.<\/p>\n
The Agriculture Ministry did not specify the export destination, shipment size, fish species, certification process, or companies involved.<\/p>\n
Iraq\u2019s fisheries sector has faced pressure from water shortages, disease outbreaks, falling prices, and the closure of unauthorized fish farms. Fish Producers Association head Eyad Al-Talibi warned in September 2025 that Iraq\u2019s fish market was facing an \u201cunprecedented decline<\/a>,\u201d saying production costs remained higher than market prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-06-11T11:57:31+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraq has launched fish exports to global…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":155589,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[152,28821,94,49516],"class_list":["post-155588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-breaking","tag-fish","tag-iraq","tag-iraqi-fish-enters-global-markets"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116731450764400045","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155588","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=155588"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/155588\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=155588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=155588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=155588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
