Shafaq News/ The Union of Agricultural Societies in Iraq confirmed today, Saturday, that the bulldozing process of date orchards has become "unbearable", as it has greatly affected the production of dates, some of whose rare varieties have begun to disappear, calling for urgent measures to protect this national wealth from bulldozing and return it to Its advanced centers are as before.
The head of the union, Hassan Al-Tamimi, told Shafaq News Agency, "The bulldozing of date orchards in Iraq is an incorrect process, and it has become intolerable, and many demands have been directed to the government to take urgent measures in this regard, because these bulldozing operations harm the environment in general, and cause A shortage in the national production of dates, which is one of the rare national wealth in the country.
Al-Tamimi added, "In the seventies and early eighties, Iraq was at the forefront of the list of countries in the world that export dates, but the country has gone through several setbacks that affected production, and we note during the last twenty years that there is a clear neglect of date orchards, and a lack of attention to them and giving them the requirements for its development.
He stressed, "The new government should take upon itself the re-cultivation of palm trees and the hybridization of rare varieties, some of which have begun to become extinct throughout Iraq, and to start planting palm trees by distillation and on artesian wells in the desert areas, which extend from Zubair through to Umm Unaij in Nasiriyah to the Samawa desert." Najaf, Karbala, Anbar and other provinces.
The head of the Federation of Agricultural Societies pointed out that "this requires developing plans, providing the necessary funds, and supporting orchard owners who suffer from the lack of pesticides and not giving them an adequate dose of fertilizer, as well as the scarcity of water that affected the orchards of Najaf as a result of legalizing the operation of pumps for irrigation."
He continued, "Therefore, we need to legislate laws that prevent dredging in order to bring the varieties of dates back to the fore again, and to be at the forefront of countries, as Iraq today, according to statistics, the remaining palm trees are now only about 10 million, while it was supposed to exceed 30 million palm trees, based on the country's population.
Until the end of the sixties of the last century, Iraq exported about 75% of the world's dates and ranked first, but over the past four decades it fell to the ninth place, due to the lack of water quotas, diseases and wars that have killed millions of date palms since 1980.
After 2003, and in the midst of worrying climate change and desertification hitting Iraq for more than two years, palm groves are witnessing extensive bulldozing and transforming their gender from agricultural to residential, especially in the capital, Baghdad.
