Farmers in the Kurdistan Region say they are struggling to sell their crops because of low domestic demand and a flood of cheaper imports, especially from Iran.
Iraq buys its tomatoes cheaper from its Iranian neighbor. Kurdish farmers can’t export to neighboring countries like Turkey as they already have strong domestic markets.
The low demand in Kurdish markets for local produce means many farmers are
reducing the size of their crop, as they know it simply won’t sell.
