Value chain development for potato production and processing
The project will be implemented in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
The project aims to build capacity of 8,000 potato farmers as well as introduce cold storage and a processing facility. In addition to this, job opportunities will be created for vulnerable groups in the region like refugees and IDPs.
As a result of this project, Iraqi farmers will be able to increase their potato yield and yield quality, farmers will have access to new markets and benefit from guaranteed sales through contracts with the potato processing factory, farmers are more competitive against the cheap import, and Iraqi workers from vulnerable groups (IDPs and refugees) will get access to job opportunities, both in the potato fields, as well as in the French fries factory.
