Shafaq News-
\nBaghdad<\/p>\n

Iraqi markets are
\nwitnessing abundant supplies of locally produced fish this season, particularly
\nthe Qattan, Binni, and Shabout species, the Agriculture Ministry announced on
\nSunday.<\/p>\n

According to the
\nministry, the increase is the result of ongoing efforts to preserve Iraq’s fish
\nresources through programs implemented by the Animal Resources Department to
\nbreed native species at government hatcheries and release them into rivers and
\nother water bodies. The initiative aims to strengthen national fish stocks<\/a> while
\npreserving native Iraqi species and ensuring their sustainability.<\/p>\n

The Animal
\nResources Department’s hatcheries produced more than 1.54 million native Iraqi
\nfish during the 2023\u20132025 seasons to increase domestic production, support
\nnational fish stocks, and improve the country’s food security.<\/p>\n

In June, Iraq launched<\/a> fish exports to global markets for
\nthe first time. Agriculture Minister Abdul Rahim Al-Shammari said the move
\nmarks the beginning of broader efforts to boost agricultural production, assist
\nfish farmers, and boost the national economy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026-07-26T13:22:37+00:00 font Enable Reading Mode A- A A+ Shafaq News- Baghdad Iraqi markets are witnessing abundant supplies of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223499,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[14],"tags":[40478,28821,64050,94],"class_list":["post-223498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iraq","tag-agriculture-ministry","tag-fish","tag-fish-hatchery-program-strengthens-iraqs-fish-stocks","tag-iraq"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/116986647980380046","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223498","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=223498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223498\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223499"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
