• Between 2018 and 2024, Iraq’s imports of food and packaging technology increased at an annual growth rate of 16.5%, from €89 million to €223 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
