The 5th Agro Pack & 3rd Plast Iraq 2022 has come to a close. Finally, 196 exhibitors from 10 countries presented their products and solutions to a total of 7,758 visitors, many invited as Hosted Buyers in delegations from all over Iraq.
The large number of trade visitors far exceeded the exhibitors’ expectations, and it reflects the great interest and high investment needs of the Iraqi agrofood & plastprintpack industry.
Let’s see how the exhibitors assessed the event:
ERKIM – Alper Eralp (right), Manager
Erkim is one of the leading producers of PP bags, fabric pouch, types of fabrics and shade nets for the agricultural industry in Türkiye. Our products are designed according to International Standard Quality.
We are producers of big bags and shade nets and we would like to check out the Iraqi market in this sector. We met private consumers as well as wholesalers at the Agro Pack Iraq.
Priva Middle East – Giovanni Angiolini, General Manager
Priva was founded over 65 years ago and helps cities transform into sustainable urban deltas by developing cutting-edge technologies, services and knowledge of climate control and process automation for buildings, horticulture and all intermediate sectors.
Iraq is working hard to maximise its food security strategy. Therefore, we see lots of opportunities for Priva, not only by offering our products and services, but also to collaborate with the government, farmers, retailers and knowledge institutes.
We met various representatives from the public and private sectors. Many are very helpful and share the market potential. The interest in horticulture solutions is there, even if this sector is yet a small part of the event.

We think that the Iraqi market is a snowball sliding down the hill – so it’s’ getting bigger each second
Here at Plast Iraq & Agro Pack, we met lots of our customers, new potential customers and high-quality leads. We have a huge chance to build new partnerships at the show. We want to expand our influence in North Iraq. At the show, we were able to make new contacts and with those we learned even more about the market.

Established in 1991 Bhagwati is one of the leading manufactures and exporters of Basmati rice, with a lot of experience and reliability on high quality standards from farm to destination.

Iraq is an untapped market for companies which can supply quality products. Now the market is growing very fast so Iraqi market has good potential for our products.

At Agro Pack and Plast Iraq we also discussed business with ice cream, dairy and food manufacturers from all over Iraq. They represent a large potential of buyers looking for packaging items for their specific needs. We hope to reach out to new potential customers.
