Green gold .. Iraq is setting foot in a sector that Iran and America have been fighting over for three decades
May 12, 2021
From the western side of its lands, Iraq entered a new field in the agricultural sector with initial attempts to cultivate a new variety on its lands, which is pistachios or the so-called "green gold" due to the high financial return provided by this product.

The "green gold" is a testament to one of the most prominent non-military wars between Iran and America
In 2020, the first announcement of the success of the cultivation of pistachios in Iraq was launched from Anbar Governorate after the success of thousands of trees for a farmer to withstand for a long time without watering due to the military operations in Anbar Province, before the Ministry of Agriculture officially announced a few days ago the success of an official initiative of the Ministry to plant And the proliferation of pistachios in the Mosul Dam and Al-Qa'im stations, in the west of Anbar Province.

In a statement received by "Ultra Iraq" a copy of it, the ministry stated, "Based on the directives of Minister Muhammad Al-Khafaji, the cultivation and propagation of pistachios succeeded in the Mosul Dam and Al-Qaim stations, through the interest in spreading and cultivating crops with economic returns and high nutritional value that could fit the Iraqi environmental conditions." In terms of tolerating drought and high temperatures.
The statement added, "This tree has the advantage of having a high financial return due to the high price of its fruits and high productivity in the long run due to its long life, to contribute to achieving self-sufficiency in this crop and to supply the local market with high-quality pistachios."

The "green gold" is a witness to one of the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] non-military [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] between Iran and America, as Iran was the main and first source of pistachios in the world, and its revenues from pistachio exports approached more than one and a half billion dollars annually, before America was able to dislodge Iran from the fore. In 2008, while this war, which was called the "Pistachio War", dates back to the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] , when America banned the import of Iranian pistachios before it could enter the competition field by cultivating pistachios on its own through "seeds stolen from Iran", in a strange paradox, So far, Iranian and American production of pistachios constitutes 72% of the world total.
Regarding the economic feasibility, farmer Anbari Amin Al-Jaghafi, who intends to repeat the experiment of cultivating pistachios in a modern city, indicates that "the pistachio trees have a long life and are able to withstand thirst and drought."
And he showed that "one pistachio tree produces about 10 kilograms, while the price of one kilogram reaches $ 12."
According to Al-Jaghifi, "one dunum can be planted with 50 trees, which means that one dunum saves about 6 thousand dollars, which means that planting a thousand trees enters about 120 thousand dollars, which is considered a successful project."
Will Iraq become part of global production?
Haider al-Abadi, head of agricultural societies, said in an interview with Ultra Iraq, that “peasant associations seek and encourage agricultural diversification operations, given that most of our farmers today prefer to cultivate the usual strategic crops and their profits and returns may be less valuable than the rest of the crops that they have not experienced,” indicating "Iraq is going through this experience today and are keen on agricultural diversification, especially since Iraq today faces great water scarcity at a time when this type of tree can survive and resist drought and water scarcity."
Regarding what Iraq needs to be one of the countries producing pistachios in the world, Al-Abadi refers to "the necessity of the role that the Agricultural Extension Directorate at the Ministry of Agriculture plays to educate farmers, as well as the fact that this matter is also the responsibility of agricultural societies to educate farmers about the cultivation of the pistachio crop, as it is a different crop." Most of our farmers do not have experience in cultivating it, "indicating that" if we start planting small areas of this crop in every governorate, the areas will expand significantly later, and it is expected that Iraq will become part of the global production of pistachios, especially as it has a suitable atmosphere and needs this type of cultivation. " To grow and represented by high temperatures. "

The prices of pistachios are very good when compared to other crops
Regarding the economic feasibility of this crop, Al-Abadi added, "The prices of the pistachios are very good when compared to the rest of the crops, in addition to the fact that they do not require great and expensive care as in other crops."
