The Poultry Industry in Iraq |
Investment Promotion |
2006-11-20 |
| |
There is currently a crisis in the Iraqi poultry industry, says a USAID report, and the development of a more competitive poultry industry should be a priority for the newly elected Iraqi government. 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. |

Iraq Competitiveness Analysis |
Investment Promotion |
2006-09-02 |
| |
This paper identifies Iraqi industries which possess intrinsic advantages (or relatively fewer disadvantages), and therefore should be able to compete in an open market with as little assistance from the public sector as possible. It also seeks to identify sectors that benefit from physical proximity to large markets, in this case the domestic Iraqi market. A description of the approach and methodology employed in the analysis is included.

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. |

Small Ruminant Animals in Iraq |
Investment Promotion |
2006-07-23 |
| |
This study is aimed at supporting local microfinance activities in Iraq at the local level, rather than being a comprehensive analysis of sheep and goats in the country. Its objective is to support people involved in promoting lamb fattening and in developing alternative supplemental sources of animal feed. This paper analyzes the value chain and provides a quick, easy-to-read document for decision makers supporting local lamb fattening operations. |

The Dairy Market in Iraq |
Investment Promotion |
2006-07-18 |
| |
Developing the modern dairy sector is fundamental to the establishment of a food processing industry in Iraq, according to a USAID report. Success in this sector could accelerate the development process in a dramatic way and ignite a self-sustaining virtuous cycle of new investments leading to better distribution systems, resulting in lower margins and prices, followed by higher consumption and additional new investment. |

The Potential for Food Processing in Iraq |
Investment Promotion |
2006-03-15 |
| |
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. The development of a modern food processing industry could add $10-15 billion to the Iraqi GDP, and should be a high priority for the newly elected government. |

Business Models for Acquaculture in Iraq |
Investment Promotion |
2006-03-15 |
| |
In a country with a limited supply of animal feed, the development of aquaculture makes considerable sense because the most common varieties of farmed fish have a much more favorable feed conversion than either cattle or poultry. This paper analyzes various aquaculture business models and systems in terms of feasibility and investment potential in Iraq. |
