Salah al-Din Emerges as Iraq's Second-Largest Wheat Producer

Salah al-Din province is projected to become Iraq's second-largest wheat producer this season, driven by abundant water supplies and sustained government support. Harvesting operations are currently underway, with crops being transported to provincial silos as the region cements its status as a primary agricultural hub. Following a strong previous season where production exceeded 500,000 tons, the province continues to see significant growth in output. Despite the record yields, farmers and transport drivers have called for increased efficiency at silos to reduce unloading wait times and accelerate processing.
