摘要：

Iraqi grain production may not rebound in a similar pattern in MY 2020/21 as it did in MY 2019/20 due to a shortage of rainfall coupled with impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on Iraq’s oil-dependent economy and movement restrictions that limit the ability for farmers to cultivate their grain. Post expects less than average yields per unit area of wheat and barley due to late and insufficient rainfall in growing areas. However, an increase in planned planted area for wheat and barley may compensate for yield declines. Rice production is forecast to decline due to limited availability of water. Grain food and feed consumption are forecast to rise on population growth and growing demand for meat and dairy products fueling the Iraqi livestock sector.
