Abstract:
Agricultural production in general and in particular date production is of great food and economic importance to many countries that have a comparative advantage for date production, especially Iraq.In addition to its historical, dates it is almost complete food item is the sugars of the most important vehicles accounting for more than (70%), as well as the longer of significant economic value through its contribution to the GDP. Iraq is one of the countries that is rich in economic resources in general and agriculture in particular, and that the palm wealth is one of the important agricultural resources in Iraq. Iraq is characterized as having an advanced position from my list global production and export of dates. Iraq is one of the main date producing countries and occupies a leading position of the world's total production of dates and characterized by producing varieties several compared to the rest of the producing countries, but the number of palm trees declined since 2003 as a result of circumstances external and internal challenges experienced by Iraq as well as the injury of large numbers of palm insects and agricultural pests, and poor dates, prices of the levels of production costs does not fit all of this has had a negative impact that made palm growers skip away from development, and especially young people as the most profitable and least job opportunities effort to attract These young people, leading to a shortage of labor in the hand palm - growing areas and this in turn led to higher costs and greater decline in palm produce.The Food and Agriculture Organization statistics (FAO), especially the last years of the study to the low percentage of the contribution of Iraq's production of the world production of dates and the low rank of the main date producing countries in the world. Iraq has dropped since the order of the production of dates in the world for up to seventh place in 2007 after he was a fifth place in 2005 and ranked first previous years. Also decreased the proportion of the contribution of Iraq's production of dates worldwide to (6.41%) of the global production in 2005 after it was (9.7%) in 2004 and 11.7% in 1999 and 14.8% in 1990, is due to a decrease in the number of palm The decrease in productivity per palm. Iraq and compete with the big main producing countries of dates between last year and with Egypt, Iran and Saudi Arabia. The consequent decline in the share of the value of date production in GDP at current prices during 2013 than it was in 1994 (0.13%) and (1.5%), respectively. The data also indicate a decrease in agricultural employment relative to total employment of about proportion (30%) in 1990 to about (13.5%) in 2012.As the production of dates for 2013 for all items (676) thousand tons, an increase of 3.2% from last year, the production of which was 655 thousand tons. Forefront of the province of Babylon first place in terms of production, which amounted to 105 thousand tons with 15.5% of Iraq's total production increase of 4.7% from last year, the production of which was 100 thousand tons, and the form of the production of dates (ascetic) ratio major of the production of dates in Iraq to produce the same year (369) thousand tons, constituting the gain (54.6%) of the total production for that year, which came to (676) thousand tons. While the average per Palm Dates of productivity amounted to (ascetic) (75) kg compared to 68 kg for the rest of the items for that year. The percentage contribution of the value of the production of dates in GDP at current prices volatile fluctuations of production and prices of dates where the highest percentage in 1994, it was about (1.5%), while the lowest percentage contribution in 2008 where she was (0.05%), while the With regard to the proportion of the contribution of the value of the production of dates in agricultural GDP at current prices in Iraq and for the same duration above it is also volatile. Reaching the highest contribution in 1994 at a rate of (7.4%), while the lowest percentage contribution in 2008 at a rate of (1.3%) due to lower production levels and low world prices and the neglect of the palm by farmers and owners of orchards.The research aims to analyze reality economic agricultural production and date production in Iraq. in addition, try to influence them the environment and find out the real problem of low productivity and the fluctuation of the proportion of its contribution to the GDP at current prices cause analysis, as well as identify the most important problems and challenges they face for the future development and prospects, and it will be through the analysis of model (Swot Analysis), any study of the strengths and weaknesses, as well as the opportunities and threats that surround the agricultural sector and palm groves in Iraq, and the development of the proposed solutions to be addressed.
