Export from Iraq

Iraq (officially the Republic of Iraq) is a country in Western Asia, the 45th largest export economy in the world. 

Before gaining success on the international market, this country was known as the cradle of civilization. Many early cultures and cities, as Sumeria, Akkadia, Assyria, Babylon, Ur and Nineveh were established in the ancestral country known as the “land of the two rivers”. Unfortunately, the period of wars, sanctions and conflicts interfered country’s economic and trade development. 

Today, Iraq provides the world market with petroleum and mineral products

The use of technology has increased rapidly since 2003. With the rise of modern technologies and the foreign investments, Iraq produces and exports energy, network devices, computer components and other PC accessories. 

The top exports of Iraq belong to energy and utilities industries. At the same time, Iraq runs regular trade surpluses primarily due to high exports of crude and refined petroleum, gold, tropical fruits and tanned sheep hides.

In addition to country’s rich energy resources, the primary sector is concentrated on agriculture, forestry, fishing and mining. Due to this, Iraq exports fresh fish and wood to neighbor countries, as Syria, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. 

Iraq holds strong export partnerships with China, India, the United States, South Korea and Greece. 

Import to Iraq

Iraq gained its place as international importer after becoming the United States’ 59th largest goods export market in 2012. 

In order to increase country’s economy, the government imports large quantities of non-agricultural export categories, as: machinery and mechanical appliances, aircraft, vehicles, electrical machinery, optic instruments as well as iron and steel products. 

Due to the unstable political situation and continuous military repressions in some parts of the country, the government emphasizes its attention on direct medical assistance, developing local health system. In order to provide primary health care and basic reproductive health services, the country imports mobile medical units, medical and surgery instruments as well as pharmateuticals.

Water supply and sanitation in Iraq is characterized by poor water and service quality. Three decades of war, combined with limited environmental awareness, have destroyed Iraq's water resources management system. Thus, the country imports tones of potable water to support people’s life activity.

Main import partners of Iraq are Turkey, China, South Korea, the United States and Germany.
