Booming poultry industry Iraqi Kurdistan poultry industry has
dramatically increased over the past five years. Haider Farhan,
head of Kurdistan Region’s poultry in-dustry High Council: “There
are now 2,000 chicken farms in the Kur-distan Region, producing
nearly 190 tons of meat annually.”
“Production has increased by 50 percent over the last five
years” con-firms Ramazan Mohammed, head of the Kurdistan Regional
Govern-ment (KRG)’s agriculture and water resources directorate.
“We have documented the opening of 338 new official poultry farms
during that time, plus about 300 unregistered ones.”
Iraq is the main buyer of Kurdistan’s chicken. Annually,
Kurdistan Region’s businessmen and companies buy at least 100-130
thousand tons of live chickens from Kurdistan’s farms and send them
to the rest of Iraq alive. Given an average price of 2,000 dinars
for each kilo, the trade is worth US$ 216 million.
Iraq imports chicken from 19 countries, the lion’s share coming
from Turkey, Brazil, USA and Ukraine, according to official figures
from Iraq’s Ministry of Trade and Industry.

Why exhibit in iraq food ingredients?
With 39 million inhabitants, Iraq has long been one of the three
largest food markets in the Arab world, after Egypt and on an equal
footing with Algeria.
Expenditure in the F&B sector is growing steadily and
F&B production is by far the largest segment of the Iraqi
processing industry.
Accordingly, the demand for food and beverage ingredients is
rising continuously. So it is only natural that iraq food
ingredients forms an important part of Agro Pack Iraq Erbil.
Demand for F&B ingredients rising continuously
With iraq food ingredients, the organizers are responding to the
request of exhibitors for their own partial tradeshow under the
umbrella of Agro Pack Iraq Erbil.
Just like iran food ingredients which fairtrade established a
fewyears ago in Tehran under the umbrella of iran agrofood.
