Abstract
Iraq’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) remains a subject of intense debate due to the significant and critical implications it poses for the Iraqi economy, which continues to endure arduous conditions resulting from nearly three decades of war, sanctions, and the subsequent destruction of its infrastructure and productive capacities. Iraq urgently requires an opportunity to restructure its capabilities within both the industrial and agricultural sectors; the latter, in particular, necessitates preferential treatment to support its recovery from prolonged neglect and its diminished contribution to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Consequently, it is imperative to implement practical policies and applied programs that restore the agricultural sector’s status, ensuring that Iraq’s eventual membership in the WTO is both effective and positive—a step that is vital for the long-term resilience and future of the Iraqi economy
