Call for the promotion and protection of local food production
09/12/2017 12:00 am [rtl]The need to determine prices to suit the income of citizens Baghdad / Emad Al-Amara The current stage requires stabilizing food production, both vegetable and animal, and subsidizing its prices according to the market requirements in order to provide food to the members of society in accordance with the incomes of the citizens, thus providing huge funds to go to import at a time when food can be produced and self-sufficiency of Iraq from its various food resources. "The price of foodstuffs has led to a lack of development of local production of food, and lack of relative incentives to produce some agricultural crops, especially grains," said Dr. Ahmed Omar Al-Rawi, an economist. "The price of the flour bag made from imported wheat during the 1980s 88 kg does not exceed 2.8 dinars, equivalent to the time of 8 dollars. Negative effects of the narrator confirmed "The policy support prices, especially in my contract seventies and eighties negative effects , including a change in the consumption pattern and the consolidation of a culture of support prices for the general goods including food, low production incentives , which led to the transformation of the farms to buy imported goods instead of production at his ranch, where Demand for imported food has grown mostly, while domestic food production grew only 2.5 percent in that period. " "The policy of subsidizing prices has also led to the use of subsidized goods, which are not intended for human consumption, such as animal feed, imported flour and subsidized by the state for cheap prices compared to domestic feed prices," he said, adding that this led to the activation of smuggling operations outside the country and the loading of state budgets Large annual financial burdens that could have been invested to develop food production locally. " Food gap The food gap reflects the extent of the deficit in the local production of food to meet the requirements of the society. This deficit is often blocked by imports. The food gap is no longer a number that reflects the quantity of imported food in terms of quantity only. The human being is given the caloric calories necessary to perform his daily activities so that the gap will be released even if the food available is enough to meet the calorie and protein deficiencies provided by these foods. "The adequacy of food in any society must be measured according to the criteria set by international organizations, based on multiple variables including sex, age, nature of work and living conditions," he said, adding that UN food programs estimated the need of the individual under average working conditions with a quantity of food , Providing him with an energy supply of not less than 2500 calories / day. The Iraqi Style The narrator continued: "In Iraq, the Institute of Nutrition has identified the need for a food basket ranging from 2,800 to 3,000 calories, which requires the provision of quantities of animal and vegetable products consumed by the individual to provide him with the calorie according to the Iraqi diet. He stressed that "the production of food (animal) locally is very important because it is the main source of food, which provides the individual calorie content of food to provide him with a stable life," but the dominant feature of food production in Iraq is instability, especially in grain crops , As a result of the cultivation of more than 50 percent of the area cultivated wheat in the demilitarized zone whose production is affected by rainfall rates. " He attributed the decline in the level of agricultural production despite the economic and natural resources available to the adoption of Iraqi agriculture on the traditional methods of agricultural operations, and therefore can not be assured on the future of food security in Iraq, but through the development and development of agricultural production. He proposed concluding scientific methods and means that would increase food production, such as taking irrigation or sprinkling methods in agriculture, and reducing reliance on rainfall to determine grain production rates.[/rtl] [rtl][You must be registered and logged in to see this link.][/rtl] |
