Iraq: Bread Basket Stands to Be Ruined by War

Financial Spread Trading ROME -- The war in Iraq could be devastating for the country's rural economy with consequences on farmers' capacity toproduce food, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned today. The winter grain harvest, set to begin in a few weeks, and the spring planting could both be affected.

Jordan's export market, which is heavily dependent on exports to Iraq, was also affected by the war but recovered quickly while contributing to the Iraq recovery effort.

Nfl Betting Spread The UN agency has launched a $86 million appeal to help meet the crisis. The FAO is appealing for more than $20 million for three emergency projects to secure the grain harvest and the spring and fall plantings. Six other emergency projects to protect the harvest, increase food production, prevent outbreaks of animal diseases, ensure water supplies in rural areas, and coordinate relief efforts will require the remaining $66 million.

Betting Exchange Spread "Loss of the winter harvest, especially in Iraq's northern bread basket provinces, which account for more than half of the country's entire cereal production, would further aggravate what is already a difficult situation," Thomas said. "All efforts have to be made to save this harvest throughout the country where access will be feasible, by making sure farmers are in position with their combine harvesters working, and fuel, spare parts and storage in place."

Advanced Commodity Spread Planting for the irrigated spring crops of vegetable, maize [corn] and rice should be underway now. It must proceed on schedule so that Iraqis can receive an essential supply of the vitamins, proteins and micronutrients that are missing from food aid baskets which generally contain flour, oil, sugar, and beans, but not vegetables.

A war with Iraq is also on travelers` minds. While only 7% of travelers indicated a war with Iraq would keep them from taking a domestic leisure trip, nearly 38% said they would avoid traveling abroad during a conflict. "As expected a war with Iraq would have its greatest impact on international travel. Many travelers choose to stay closer to home during times of conflict" states Mr. Hibbard.

Online Spread Betting Some 60% of Iraq's 24.5 million people rely entirely for their daily sustenance on food baskets provided under the UN's Oil for Food Program, suspended since the war began.

Stock Spread Trading The Oil for Food Program was restarted with a resolution adopted unanimously by the UN Security Council on March 28 that gives Secretary-General Kofi Annan temporary authority to facilitate the delivery and receipt of goods contracted by the government of Iraq for the humanitarian needs of its people.
