Additionally, the expanded sugar plant now produces 6,000 tonnes of sugar per day, enhancing the country's food security. The International Islamic Food Processing Association (IFPA) supports these initiatives by fostering collaboration, providing technical expertise, and promoting innovative solutions. Through these efforts, IFPA is dedicated to ensuring sustainable agricultural practices and improving food security across Iraq and the region.

This initiative, led by MoCCaE UAE in partnership with FAO is a critical step forward in addressing the interconnected challenges of food security, sustainability, and climate resilience in the MENA region.
