Previous Opportunities

Business Opportunities in Iraq

Opportunities are available in the following areas:

• Irrigation
• Industrial size greenhouses
• Cold storage & refrigeration equipment (mainly for transportation)
• Carbon sequestration through forestry
• New tractors & combine harvesters
• Food safety standards and procedures
• Better transparency on land tenure
• Detailed study of land use across KRG
• Agriculture training and education
• Organic certification

In addition to the opportunities above, the British Government in Iraq is seeking to establish education links with Kurdistan Regional Government, with regard to agriculture.

This is a large project expected to last for two to three years. The main part of the project would be the creation of a 'model farm' that could act as a training centre for agricultural students and a vocational base for existing farmers. They are therefore looking for a partner of an established UK agricultural college to take things forward.
