Baghdad MP Mudhar Al-Karawi confirmed, Friday, that reviving the agricultural sector will reduce unemployment in Iraq by 10%.
Al-Karawi said in an interview with Ayn News, that “Iraq has vast areas of fertile agricultural land and a large human wealth capable of achieving self-sufficiency within a short period if a real road map is available in supporting national production and paying attention to the risk of random import and smuggling that harms the local sector.” .
Al-Karawi added, “The revitalization and support of agriculture in Iraq will reduce unemployment by 10% and perhaps much more because it is the largest sector in terms of its ability to provide very large job opportunities, pointing out that agriculture represents a very important solution to the file of unemployment and poverty in all governorates and can contribute to creating a movement.
