 Green Oil ... A Basic Pillar For Achieving Food Security

 
Economic 2025/02/13   Baghdad: Imad of the emirate  It is dependent on the achievement of food security by
 
     improving the performance of the agricultural sector and the
     stimulation of industries, especially those that depend on agricultural and animal products, such as the
     manufacture of tomato paste, jams and dairy, and the production of meat, lumbar and woolen textiles, and leather industry, in a way that achieves the principle of integration between the sectors (industry and agriculture) as the most important sectors in increasing national income And his permanence.

In order to reach this goal, the  government encourages the private sector to  establish agricultural / industrial complexes or what is called "green oil".  

The former Undersecretary of the Ministry of Agriculture, Dr. Mahdi Al -Qaisi, said:
 
Food manufacturing includes a group of industries that all depend on plant and animal agricultural products and marine and fish products, usually
 
food manufacturing is that it is one of the most prominent pillars of food security.
 
Al -Qaisi added, in an interview with "Al-Sabah", that the
 
increase in plant agricultural production and livestock in quantity and quality contribute to the advancement of food manufacturing outputs by
 
providing the initial material necessary for this industry and
upgrading various preservation and manufacturing operations such as canning, drying, freezing, fermentation, etc., indicating that the
 
food industry aims to obtain On a product that meets the consumer's desires and ensures its health and nutritional quality.
 
Absorbing the Surplus
 
Regarding the goals of preserving and manufacturing food, Al -Qaisi explained that it is the
 
conservation as much as possible for its natural characteristics
     away from pollution and
     changes that occur in their quality during storage and circulation, and to
     absorb the surplus of crops and agricultural products and
     manufacture them to find a balance between supply and demand and price stability, which
 
encourages farmers to produce more and at a continuous pace. He pointed out that
 
Food Manufacturing
 
     maintains agricultural  crops from damage and
     prolonging their treasury life, and
     contributes to absorbing unemployment and
     creating many and varied areas of work.

Al -Qaisi pointed out that lunch
 
manufacturing is the optimal investment of agricultural raw materials and obtaining secondary products from manufacturing operations that constitute an added economic value, noting that
 
this reflects the change of the consumer food pattern, which reflects on
     reducing waste and losing food and
     achieving economic feasibility
 
to face accelerated population increases and the increasing rise in food prices Globally.
 
Manufacturing Activities
 
And on the process of upgrading food industries in Iraq, between the agricultural expert: that the food industries sector in Iraq is exposed to a relatively long long period of time to stop in a number of factories and manufacturing activities for several reasons, the most prominent of which is commodity dumping, so it requires serious consideration in the issue of supporting and upgrading national food industries
 
To take its true position in food and economic security.
 
Industrial Crops
 
For his part, economic affairs specialist, Dr. Ahmed Al -Rawi, stated that
 
Iraq is one of the agricultural countries that are characterized by the production of crops that can be manufactured such as dates, diabetic beets, sesame and vegetables, again the
 
call for a number of industries that depend on these crops, which encourages farmers to demand the cultivation of industrial crops It helps its development. Al-Rawi told Al -Sabah:
 
The entry of agricultural products in manufacturing leads to the withdrawal of the surplus of agricultural crops at the time of the peak of its productive season, which maintains their prices from landing, usually  food security for any country as part of its national security, and that
 
one of the procedures for supporting food security is is The establishment of advanced food industries helps to provide the individual-made foods, especially in times of environmental disasters, wars and crises.  https://alsabaah.iq/110110-.html
