And he warned about "the importance of addressing remote sensing by means of satellites, as the need for it in Iraq has become urgent, especially since today it is an inexpensive technology for a country like Iraq, where the cost of the satellite ranges from 4-5 million dollars, while the launch cost does not exceed 25 million dollars."

In addition to the low productivity of livestock, the cessation of most of its projects, the limited agricultural investment and the contribution of the private sector in agricultural activities, despite its primary role in agricultural manufacturing industries, agricultural supplies and services, and others.
He pointed out that "the priorities required to be initiated for the advancement of the agricultural sector require the advancement of the water and environment axis, the most important of which is the construction of plugs and regulators that raise the water level in southern Iraq and in the tails of canals to prevent the drainage of surplus water in sewers, and the investment of groundwater and under the supervision of the Ministry of Water Resources," stressing "reconsideration With strategic agricultural plans according to climate changes, water scarcity and global variables, and direct coordination with ministries, concerned authorities and the private sector to upgrade projects supporting the agricultural sector, as well as developing an investment map for agricultural projects and supporting them according to priorities, and coordination with international and Arab organizations according to memorandums of understanding and joint agreements to transfer and localize technology for activities agricultural sector and its support.
