The Ministry of Agriculture has clarified the wheat delivery process as part of its ongoing support for farmers. This explanation came after growing public interest in how wheat is received and marketed. Officials responded with confidence, aiming to ease farmers’ concerns and reinforce transparency.
According to ministry spokesperson Mohammed Abdul Redha Al-Khuzai, the agricultural plan for every farmer will be fully accepted. Field size will not limit wheat delivery. This decision ensures fair treatment and encourages farmers to boost production without fear of rejection.
The ministry has set yield expectations to streamline the process. Irrigated lands by canals must produce 750 kilograms per dunam. Lands watered by sprinklers must yield 950 kilograms per dunam. However, Al-Khuzai confirmed that these numbers are flexible. Farmers with higher yields can deliver their entire harvest.
Agricultural departments will inspect fields to verify actual production. These local visits ensure accurate reporting and fair crop marketing. After verification, the Ministry of Trade will receive the entire amount of approved produce.
Support for farmers does not stop at crop delivery. The Ministry of Agriculture has introduced several measures to boost the sector. These include expanding planting programs for both winter and summer seasons. The ministry also worked hard to secure fair prices for essential crops like wheat.
In addition, officials canceled land rental fees for farmers. This decision lowered production costs and helped thousands of agricultural workers. Other efforts focused on infrastructure improvements and easier access to equipment and seeds.
Minister Abbas Jabur Al-Maliki continues to lead initiatives that benefit farmers directly. His team remains committed to agricultural development at all levels. They aim to create a sustainable, profitable, and productive farming environment.
By maintaining this level of support for farmers, the ministry ensures long-term growth. These steps bring new hope to rural communities and strengthen Iraq’s food security. With continued coordination, the agriculture sector can thrive and meet future challenges.
