Duhok grape growers struggle to market their fruit
DUHOK, Kurdistan Region - Duhok grape growers say this year’s harvest has been excellent, but they face problems marketing their fruit, a challenge for many Kurdistan Region farmers trying to compete with cheaper imports or sell their produce across borders.
The Kurdistan Regional Government said it is working to increase exports. “Our plan is to find markets for our products including grapes and honey. We are in the process of establishing private companies for the exportation of such products,” said Karim Sulaiman, deputy minister of agriculture and water resources.
