Here’s the rewritten version in a simple, conversational style:
MP Mudhar al-Karawi announced on Sunday that major changes to agricultural plans across Iraq have been approved after water supplies improved in many governorates.
Speaking to dinaropinions.com, al-Karawi said the rise in strategic water reserves encouraged him to submit a request to the Ministry of Agriculture several weeks ago to revise the existing agricultural plans.
He explained that agricultural plans were cut by more than 50% during the previous season because of the water shortage crisis, which caused serious difficulties for farmers across the country.
Al-Karawi said the reduction particularly affected wheat farmers, noting that wheat remains one of the most important crops and a key pillar of the agricultural sector in many regions.
According to him, the Ministry of Agriculture has now approved a review of the plans and agreed to significantly expand cultivated areas, especially in provinces where farming plays a major role in the local economy.
He added that the updated agricultural plans will be implemented in the coming period alongside the provision of the necessary irrigation water to support farmers.
Al-Karawi also stressed the importance of increasing support for modern irrigation systems. He said these technologies can cut water consumption by more than 70%, making them an important tool for protecting water resources and ensuring the long-term growth of Iraq’s agricultural sector.
He emphasized that expanding the use of modern irrigation methods will help farmers increase production while using water more efficiently, helping strengthen the country’s food security in the years ahead. Green light
