Expansion to 2 halls enables clear thematic structure

The overwhelming demand prompted the organisers, So Fuar and fairtrade, to use both halls of the Erbil International Fairground to offer attendees a comprehensive and intensive experience.

This expansion allows for a clearly defined thematic structure and reflects the commitment to delivering an unparalleled event that meets the diverse needs of exhibitors and visitors alike.

So here is the event’s structure:

Hall 1:

  • Food Iraq: A platform for showcasing and trading finished food & beverage products.
  • Agro Iraq: Showcasing agriculture, crop production, livestock breeding, and poultry.

Hall 2:

  • Agro Pack Iraq: Focusing on technology and materials for food and beverage processing, as well as ingredients.
  • Furthermore, the concurrent 5th Plast Iraq complements the value chain, spotlighting plastic raw materials, machinery, equipment for plastics processing, printing, and packaging.

Impressive figures underscore Iraq's dynamic agrofood sector growth:

  • Between 2015 and 2023, Iraq’s imports of food and packaging technology increased at an annual growth rate of 15.4%, from €76 million to €239 million, making Iraq the third largest Arab importing country in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia and the UAE (VDMA). These technology imports enable Iraq to develop and diversify its own production, increase exports, and substitute imports of consumables. See further details
  • Food imports also surged between 2018 and 2023, with an annual growth rate of 6.2%, rising from US$ 10.9 billion to US$ 14.7 billion (WTO). This solidifies Iraq's position as the third largest food importer in the Arab Middle East, following Saudi Arabia and the UAE. See further details
