Boosted by the great success of the November 2021 event, organisers So Fuar and fairtrade are now preparing the next edition in November 2022.

What’s new? The upcoming edition takes up the two most important recommendations of the exhibitor and visitor survey:

The fair will be condensed from 4 to 3 days, while at the same time admission controls will be tightened. This is intended to limit the audience to trade visitors and to strengthen the professional character of the fair.

The event should represent the entire value chain from field to fork. For this purpose, Agro Pack Iraq will be supplemented by Agro Iraq and Food Iraq, and the fair will be extended from Hall 1 to Halls 1 and 2. To complete the range of products and services and to benefit from synergies, Plast Iraq will be held in parallel.

Agro Iraq in Hall 2 presents agriculture, crop production, livestock breeding and poultry
Agro Pack Iraq in Hall 1 covers technology and material for processing food and beverages, as well as ingredients
Food Iraq in Hall 1 showcases and trades finished food & beverage products
Plast Iraq in Hall 1 features plastic raw material in primary forms as well as machinery and equipment for plastics processing, printing and packaging

Recap of the 4th edition of November 2021

“For us, Iraq is one of our main markets in the region as we see a large potential in the industrial sector. However, several months back, prior to confirming our participation at the show, we were skeptical of the footfall due to the pandemic. But now, after busy days at our booth we can say the show has definitely exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds as we met customers from all the Iraqi provinces.

Not only the number and quality of the visitors were brilliant as most were professionals from within the industry and appreciate the high-quality European machines that we supply. But also the show organisers did an excellent job.”

In December 2021, the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture appointed the German-Emirati Joint Council for Industry & Commerce (AHK) to set up a "Competence Center for Food and Agriculture" for Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, the UAE and Qatar. The competence center pursues the goal of promoting economic cooperation in the field of food (agriculture and processed foods) between Germany and the five named countries of the Gulf region.

It‘s the first time that we are participating at an agro fair here in the Kurdistan region. We are very happy that now ten Dutch exhibitors are participating. That is huge!
The Netherlands is one of the biggest investors in agriculture in the Kurdistan region, and we have a very close connection with the government, for example the Ministry of Agriculture. This trade show is very professional, and I am happy to see that this kind of event can be organised here.

We regard Iraq as a developing market with an improving purchasing power as more and more factories are established. Here at Agro Pack, our target is to raise awareness for investments in high-quality and high-performance machines, despite the price argument. And we are satisfied as many investors have already visited our stand during the first two days.
Ghazwan Kafil Idan

Iraq is a very important market for our company especially since the Iraqi government supports and protects the local food production. Our clients for our flavours, fragrances and ingredients are owners of factories for the soft drink, juice and chips production. Agro Pack 2021 is an excellent and very important event for us to enlarge our horizon of communication and to increase the cooperation between suppliers and project owners. Therefore, we expect prosperity and growth of our company as a result of this event.
Feras al Khateeb

Iraq has got the largest population in the region, that’s why the Iraqi market is so important to us. We expect the market to grow steadily over the years to come.
During the past two show days we could discuss business with retailers, end users and distributors. We are satisfied with the outcome so far and we hope to close more and more deals also over the coming two days.
