Self-Sufficiency and Food Gap for Wheat ‎Crop in (2019-2020)‎

Abstract

Objectives: I dealt this study for measuring self-sufficiency and food gap (deficit) for wheat  crop in (2019-2020), The problem of the study is a question is Iraq produces wheat that help in achieving self-sufficiency and that there is no food gap (deficit) and the other question is that what is the effect of natural and human ingredients on that sufficiency.                      Methodology: the methodology of the study includes the descriptive method, statistical analysis and the productive method. The study reached out to an assumption that Iraq has produced wheat that fill the local need in(2019-2020) it reached to the self-sufficiency stage. The natural and human ingredients have a great effect to achieve it.                               Results: the study has the main role for achieving Iraq the self-sufficiency, and there is a difference among Iraq provinces concerning self-sufficiency rate and food gap(deficit) the study showed a future vision for achieving self-sufficiency of wheat.                                                                                                                       Conclusion: the study recommends of the optimum investment for the available natural and human ingredients and following the techniques for developing production. It also recommends to build up a strategic storage of wheat in case of any emergency and treat agriculture problems.
