This paper analyzes various aquaculture business models and systems in terms of feasibility and investment potential in Iraq. |

The objective of this report is to provide market-oriented recommendations concerning which food processing industries should be developed in Iraq, both to avoid import dependency and to establish a competitive, job-creating agri-food sector.

Vegetable Oils in Iraq |
Investment Promotion |
2006-08-28 |
| |
Despite the fact that nearly every country in the world produces oilseeds of one kind or another, Iraq lacks seed oil cultivation, crushing facilities, and refining facilities necessary to production. This report argues Iraq should analyze primarily the potential of rapeseed and canola, followed by safflower and sunflower. Based on a similarity analysis with Iran, rapeseed seems the oilseed crop with the highest potential. |

It also seeks to identify sectors that benefit from physical proximity to large markets, in this case the domestic Iraqi market.

This study emphasizes the strategic role the poultry industry could play in providing jobs in rural areas, achieving import substitution, providing consumers with diets richer in protein, and indirectly supporting the development of alternative crops such as corn, sorghum and other oil seed crops. |
