Italy to open olive oil factory in Kurdistan, train farmers By Rava Abdullah Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region - Italy will train Kurdish farmers working in olive groves and open a plant in Kurdistan to make olive oil, local farming officials told Rudaw. Samir Ismael, an agricultural official in Kurdistan, told Rudaw that “the Italian government provided 789,000 euros for this project,” adding that the International Centre for Advanced Mediterranean Agronomic Studies (CIHEAM) will monitor the process. According to Iraqi government data in 2008, there are 169,400 olive trees in the Kurdistan region, but most are used for purposes other than producing olives for consumption. Since the release of that data, Kurdish officials have imported more than 1.7 million olive trees from Syria, Turkey, Italy and Spain, providing an opportunity to 800 new Kurdish farmers to enter the farming sector to grow olives. “According to the agreement the Italian team will establish the factory in the Kurdistan region in the next 90 days,” Ismael said, adding that experts from the company will remain until the company begins production of olive oil. He explained that the factory will only to produce olive oil in the first phase, and that more factories will be needed to produce other commodities, including soap. The factory will be managed by Kurdish olive grove owners, in an agreement with the Kurdish government. Hashim Kamal, one of the land owners who will work with the factory, said, “We will run the factory with CIHEAM organization.” After the Islamic State group took control of the Bashik olive factory, the Kurdistan region has only one factory, Mala Umara, for producing olive oil. The new olive oil factory will be established in the Khabat neighborhood of Hewlêr. Most of the olive trees in Kurdistan region are in Hewlêr and Duhok provinces. http://rudaw.net/mobile/english/business/04022016 |

Kurdistan to introduce advanced irrigation system to boost wheat crop Farmers in Kirkuk. Photo: kirkuknow.com Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region—The Kurdish ministry of agriculture has signed a deal with the UAE-based Aljanani firm to purchase advanced irrigation equipment that are planned to help Kurdish agriculture increase its production. Authorities say the new irrigation system will reduce the waste of water by nearly 80 percent while at the same time considerably increase the arable land. The Kurdistan region has over 6 million dunam (every dunam is equivalent to some 2500 square meters) of arable land but only a quarter of that land has been used for agriculture primarily due to the flawed irrigation technics. The new system will particularly enhance the wheat production in the region which the government plans to invest in heavily. According to the ministry of agriculture, the area of land harvested for wheat has increased by nearly 80 percent in the last decade with Hewlêr province enjoying the greatest agricultural growth. Wheat growers in 2015 earned a record crop, boosting production 18 percent from 2014, and earned praise from government officials who said the yield was unprecedented in quality and abundance. With the new irrigation equipment, it is planned to almost quadruple the wheat production in some areas, the ministry says. “A farmer who produces 300 kilograms of wheat will make between 1000 and 1200 kilograms from the same land using the new technics,” says manager of the agricultural equipment in the ministry, Hasan Hussein. Hussein said the new equipment will be placed high above the ground and produce rain-like showers as irrigation. The three dams in Dukan, Darbandikhan and Dohuk have traditionally supplied the region with tap water. In late 2000, authorities completed a major water station called Ifraz, which with its capacity of 25,000 cubic meters per hour was supposed to end the shortage in the capital. With the new irrigation system, authorities hope more quantities of water are saved and used to face the growing shortage of tap water in a region with an increasing population. http://rudaw.net/mobile/english/kurdistan/160420163 |

Agricultural products increase in Kurdistan Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region (Kurdistan24) – The Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources announced that local agricultural products have increased despite the lack of funding to the agriculture sector. During the Salahaddin University Forum last week, Abdulstar Majid, Minister of Agriculture and Water Resources, told Kurdistan24, “Although it has been two years [and] the ministry has not received any budget, the agricultural products have increased." According to Majid, the ministry is contributing to the revenue of the Kurdistan Region due to the implementation of the protection of local products policy. The Ministry of Agriculture contributes 10 percent to Kurdistan’s national budget, and if the KRG provides more support and funding this rate will increase to 30 percent of contribution in the revenues for the government, Majid added. Majid said that the Kurdistan Region is now exporting only three products which are potatoes, apples and wheat, stating that agriculture could alleviate the financial crisis the KRG is facing if more funds were provided. Anwar Omer, the spokesperson of the KRG Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, told Kurdistan24 in late April that the Region “used to have 1.7 million hectares [of agriculture], but now we have 3.1 million.” According to Omer, crop production is also expected to increase to nearly one million ton. Thus, Kurdistan will be self-sufficient because the Region only needs 600,000 tons of products.

Potato farming increases in Kurdistan Kurdistan Region produces twice the volume of potatoes needed for domestic consumption. Photo: Rudaw Hewlêr, Kurdistan Region – The Kurdish Ministry of Agriculture predicts that farmers will plant more than 15,000 tons of seed potatoes in mid-February, increasing the amount of potatoes produced locally. The humble but nutritious potato is considered one of the most common crops in the world, following wheat, rice, and sweet corn. The Kurdistan Region has paid more attention to planting potatoes over the past 10 years. Over the past 8 years, potato products increased from 12,000 tons to 213,356 tons. According to the Ministry of Agriculture and Water Resources, 675 farmers cultivate tens of thousands of acres of land to grow potatoes in the Kurdistan Region. The private sector has also been helpful in developing this product by bringing potato seeds from abroad, especially from the Netherlands. The Dutch Agroplant company has opened a branch in the Kurdistan Region due to increasing demand for its potato seeds. In addition to exporting its seeds to the region, this company also invites Kurdish farmers to the Netherlands annually to introduce them to the latest technology in the field of agriculture and show them potato fields there. “Growing potatoes in the Kurdistan Region is on the rise. Potato products are increasing year by year. We bring the latest seeds on demand from farmers,” the Agroplant Company’s General Manager Hussein Arif told Rudaw. His company imported 1,300 tons of potato seeds to Kurdistan last year. It has now doubled this amount for the spring season alone. “Last year, we imported a new type of potato seeds known as 'the actress.' They had good products. They withstand being under soil for longer. This quality was useful to farmers, enabling them to keep their products under the earth until prices go up. Hence, we have doubled the import of these seeds this year on demand from farmers,” Arif said. Figures from the agriculture ministry reveal that potato products grown in the Kurdistan Region reached 213,356 tons. This is twice the amount that the region needs to meet its potato demands in the market. The surplus is exported to Iraqi cities. “Potato products are increasing gradually in the Kurdistan Region. However, farmers have difficulties selling their products during the harvest, and they cannot keep their products until a later time due to not having enough stores to keep them. This is also because the government levies taxes on imports only during the harvest. They open the borders later,” Arif explained. “It’s been a few years, we have reached self-sufficiency in our potato products. Our main problem is that the consumption of potatoes is lowest during the harvest of this product. That is why its price goes down during this time. Farmers export the surplus to Iraqi cities due to not having sufficient stores and not being able to sell all their products in Kurdistan,” said Samir Ismail, the ministry of agriculture’s supervisor of the potato project. Kurdistan-Holland (KH) is the main representative of the Dutch HZPC Company in the Kurdistan Region and Iraq. It helps the ministry of agriculture and local farmers by bringing Dutch seeds to the region. This company has imported 11,000 tons from six different types of potato seeds for the spring planting season on demand from farmers. “In the Kurdistan Region, potato products are increasing annually. But the entire product cannot be sold here and there aren’t enough stores to keep them. But we are prepared to build small stores for farmers near their fields, providing that the ministry of agriculture allows us and can assure us that farmers will pay back the cost of these stores over time,” Saadi Asaad, general manager of KH said, adding, “we can build these stores in a way that local potato products can last for 10 months without having to import them from abroad.” “Despite the financial crisis and in a bid to further develop potato growth, we have decided to purchase 3,500 tons of potato seeds from companies and distribute them to farmers,” Ismail detailed. http://www.rudaw.net/mobile/english/kurdistan/080220174 |
