Agriculture contributes approximately 3.4% to Iraq’s GDP and employs 8.25% of the workforce, with grains forming the backbone of rural livelihoods.
The rehabilitated berth will serve as Iraq’s primary entry point for wheat shipments, enabling faster vessel unloading and more efficient transfer of imports into storage and distribution networks.

The decline in imports to Iraq is linked to the country’s record wheat crop, with the government authorizing up to 2 million tonnes of grain exports this year.
