Review 2024

The 2024 edition of Plast, Agro Pack & Food Iraq attracted 10,362 attendees from across Iraq and a total of 47 countries, as well as 317 exhibitors from 18 countries. For a comprehensive overview, please refer to 2024 Post Show Report and Exhibitor list.

Expansion to 2 halls enables clear thematic structure

The overwhelming demand prompted the organisers, So Fuar and fairtrade, to use both halls of the Erbil International Fairground to offer attendees a comprehensive and intensive experience.

This expansion allows for a clearly defined thematic structure and reflects the commitment to delivering an unparalleled event that meets the diverse needs of exhibitors and visitors alike.

So here is the event’s structure:

Hall 2:

  • Iraq plast spotlights raw materials and machinery for the plastics, printing and packaging industries
  • Agro Pack Iraq: Focusing on technology and materials for food and beverage processing, as well as ingredients.

Hall 1:

  • Food Iraq: A platform for showcasing and trading finished food & beverage products.
  • Agro Iraq: Showcasing agriculture, crop production, livestock breeding, and poultry.

Impressive figures confirm how fast Iraq is developing in the plastics, printing and packaging industry.

Iraq‘s imports of plastic raw materials grew by 24% annually between 2011 and 2020, from 40 kt to 285 kt.

The country’s plastic consumption per capita increased by 23% annually over the past years, from 0.5 kg in 2009 to 7.2 kg in 2022 and is estimated at 9.0 kg in 2026. (EUROMAP)

The Iraq plast trade fair plays a pivotal role in enhancing Iraq's self-sufficiency. It serves as a significant testament to the nation's commitment to bolstering local production and the "Made-in-Iraq" initiative.

Recent statistics from the German Engineering Federation VDMA reflect this commitment.

  • Iraq’s imports of plastics technology were up with an annual growth rate of 15.7%, from €20 million in 2017 to €48 million in 2023.
  • Iraq’s printing & paper technology imports have grown by 47.6% annually, from €5 in 2017 to €35 million in 2022.
  • Imports of packaging technology increased by 17.9% annually, from €47 million in 2018 to €107 million in 2023. (VDMA)
