In addition to international imports, Iraq also sourced a significant amount of wheat domestically through an agreement between the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and the Iraqi Ministry of Trade. Under the deal, the federal government purchased 700,000 tonnes of wheat from the Kurdistan Region in 2024. This included 228,000 tonnes from Erbil, 282,000 tonnes from Sulaimani, and 189,000 tonnes from Duhok.
The combined efforts reflect Iraq’s ongoing strategy to secure food supplies through both international trade and regional agricultural production.
