Volumetric Composition of Food Industries in Babil Governorate

Food industries are among the important transformation industries spread in Babil Governorate، which depend on the agricultural raw materials available in the governorate itself، in addition to some other auxiliary materials. These industries vary between food and non-food. The problem is represented by a main question that can be summarized as follows: What is the nature of the current and expected future relationship between agricultural production and food industries in the governorate? The study hypothesis is determined by the existence of available and diverse potentials (natural، population and economic) in the governorate to invest in the establishment of food industries. One of the objectives on which the study was based is to analyze the study of the reality of agricultural production، both plant and animal، and the extent of its contribution to the development of food industries in the governorate. One of the justifications for the study is the neglect of the concerned authorities of the nature of the relationship between the agricultural and industrial sectors and the necessity of working diligently to activate interaction between the two sectors to ensure the success of both. The study adopted the systematic approach، as the subject of the study was chosen، which is food industries. The number of factories in Babil Governorate amounted to about 2540 food industries factories، representing 23.2٪ of the total food industries in Iraq
