    Economy News - Baghdad
    [rtl]Despite its economic importance and multiple uses in the textile, food and pharmaceutical industries, cotton cultivation has not received a place in the seasonal agricultural plan for many years.[/rtl]
    [rtl]The Director General of the Department of Agriculture in Wasit Governorate, southern Iraq, Arkan Al-Shammari, said, “Cotton is a summer crop, and for more than nine years there has been no agricultural plan for cotton cultivation,” indicating that “there are several reasons that have led to the disappearance of cotton cultivation, most notably drought and water scarcity.”[/rtl]
    [rtl]Al-Shammari pointed out that "Iraq could occupy advanced positions if the factors that help develop the cotton farming sector were available, as there are no stable marketing outlets for the cotton crop in Iraq until now. In the past, the crop was received from farmers through textile factories and oil factories, but the production of these factories has been halted for years."[/rtl]
    [rtl]He explained that "the period of the crop's presence in the ground is very long. It is planted at the end of February and remains in the ground until December, which is a very long period compared to agricultural seasons, because it stresses and depletes the quality and materials of the soil."[/rtl]
    [rtl]Al-Shammari confirmed, "Farmers are reluctant to grow cotton due to the high cost of production and the many diseases and epidemics that the crop is exposed to. However, in the past, it was one of the most important crops in Iraq, and Wasit Governorate alone used to cultivate about 15 thousand acres with high production quantities."[/rtl]
    [rtl]The northern regions of Iraq are currently the main base for cotton cultivation, as farmers agree with private marketing agencies before harvesting the crop and agreeing on the price, which gives farmers comfort in cultivation that continues for several months.[/rtl]
