The goal that the symposium is trying to clarify is to know the expected effects of foreign investment in Iraqi agriculture by highlighting the positive impact of this role and describing the possibility of adverse effects of foreign investment on Iraqi agriculture. At the end of the symposium, it recommended reviewing incentive systems and regulatory frameworks for foreign investments and improving the investment climate, especially by creating an appropriate economic, political, and institutional environment.
