Agriculture .. Urgent need for laboratories manufacturing modern irrigation technologies
10/9/2018 12:00 am [rtl]In an interview for {morning} Baghdad / Saha Sheikhly The need for modern irrigation technologies to address the shortage of water revenues has become urgent to secure the largest area for the cultivation of strategic crops, as the area cultivated in the country to 600 thousand acres of the total 22 million acres. The loss of agriculture in this regard confirmed the official spokesman for the Ministry of Agriculture Hamid Naev "morning" that "arable land in Iraq , with an area of 44 million acres dependent (22) million , of which the rain water wells and water rivers coming from Turkey and Iran, but since Several years have decreased these areas because of the lack of water from the upstream countries as well as lack of rain that help fill the river. "Today, we have reached areas that may be dangerous. We are planting 600,000 dunums of the total of 22 million dunums. This is a problem facing the agricultural sector. Our ministry is the beneficiary of the water, while the Ministry of Water Resources manages the water and regulates the irrigation process. In the whole of Iraq. " He stressed " " Last year we prepared the winter plan by planting (4 million acres) in agreement with the Ministry of Water Resources," he said, adding that "the plan resulted in the production of wheat crop, which came close to production last year, which is (4) millions of acres , but the delayed rains damaged some crops. " He continued , " our production of natural seeds, which are given to farmers, reached 145 thousand tons of all kinds , "pointing out that" the Ministry of Commerce receives us grain and obvious difference between the seeds and grains we always We focus on seed production so that we can increase the unit area in one dunum where Our production per day (1200) kg. "The Ministry of Commerce needs 4.500 - 5 million tons of wheat crop to support the ration card, but in light of the water scarcity and lack of rain we were able to save about two million tons of wheat, while the rest is compensated by imports." Summer Plan "The ministry prepared for the summer plan the cultivation of (1.400) million dunums, but the Ministry of Water Resources apologized for securing this quota and agreed on (600) thousand acres only for vegetables and not for strategic crops and excluded eight strategic crops of this summer plan and the important ones (rice, And white, which is an important source of animal feed in addition to sesame, millet and cotton) and other crops. "He pointed out that" through the Council of Ministers and the Supreme Council for Water we were able to agree to the cultivation of (5000) thousands of acres of rice amber species in order to maintain it and divided this area Between the provinces of Najaf and Diwaniya b Sep 3.500 thousands of acres of Najaf Najaf and 1500 acres of Diwaniyah. " Migration of the farmer "If the farmers do not have the means of agriculture, they will look for another source of income. We do not want to migrate from the countryside to the city because it weighs heavily on the state," he said. Pointing out that "we were pleased with the visit of the Prime Minister to Turkey, which will address the large part of the imbalance of the agricultural sector, where the farmer stuck to the ground but asked for water, so the government's efforts to help and compensate for crops that have not been cultivated, and we have information that there are compensation for farmers Who did not plant the silt for the season. " 4 million acres "The ministry has concerns about the winter plan, where the Ministry of Water Resources has not yet informed us of the quantities of water available to it to prepare the plan. The winter plan will certainly be less than last year, which amounted to 4 million dunums for irrigation and 6 million dunums, (10 million dunums), but the rain delay kept only 4 million dunums of rain. If we face rain, we will plant 50 percent of what we planted last year. If we get water releases, we can achieve an ambitious winter plan.
