This initiative marks the launch of a feasibility study for the establishment of Food and Feed Security Compounds (FFSCs) across Iraq

Tiryaki Agro Holding, Türkiye’s leading and one of the world’s foremost agricultural supply chain companies, has entered into a new collaboration with the International Finance Corporation (IFC), a member of the World Bank Group, in Iraq. The signing ceremony took place on September 13, 2025, during the IFC Partnerships Day in Iraq, held under the patronage of Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani, Prime Minister of Iraq, marking IFC’s two decades of impact in the country.

This initiative marks the launch of a feasibility study for the establishment of Food and Feed Security Compounds (FFSCs) across Iraq. The project is designed to be one of the most comprehensive private sector-led efforts to strengthen the country’s agricultural infrastructure and food security.

At this stage, the focus will be on feasibility studies and Environmental & Social (E&S) screenings in line with IFC Performance Standards. These assessments will be decisive in validating market demand, optimising costs, and ensuring the program’s long-term commercial sustainability.

Through this responsible approach, the project aims to:

Conduct detailed soil and water resource analyses to identify suitable crop patterns and enhance productivity,

Integrate renewable energy generation and modern silo and storage infrastructure to reduce losses and secure supply chains.

Implement training and capacity-building programs for local farmers, accelerating their adoption of sustainable modern farming practices,

Lay the foundation for resilient agribusiness infrastructure, rural development, and strengthened food and feed security.

The investment will be implemented in a phased manner, with an initial phase exceeding $120 million and is part of a larger project worth several times that amount.
