Problems of plant agricultural production in the Upper Euphrates region

The study aims to determine the problems of agricultural production in the Upper Euphrates region and the possibility of finding solutions to them by identifying the most important problems and ways to address them. The study relied on the two quantitative analytical methods for its ability to analyze geographical factors. km2) with a percentage of (23.2%) of the area of Anbar Governorate, and (7.4%) of the area of Iraq, and the area of arable and actually cultivated lands reached (232,060) dunums, and the area actually planted is (148,232) dunums, and a percentage of (63, 87%) of the total area of arable land. The study showed the impact of natural and human geographical factors on the spatial variance of agricultural production, as human factors had the greatest role in drawing the features of agricultural production, and determining its quality, evidenced by the weakness of state politicians in supporting production. The agricultural sector, especially after the occupation in 2003, represented by the weakness of agricultural credit and the weak role of cooperative societies, the lack of provision of modern agricultural technologies, the weak protection of the local product from external import, as well as the deterioration of the fertility of agricultural crops. It is due to poor water use, poor agricultural circulation system, and urban sprawl towards agricultural lands.
