The research dealt with “activating government spending to develop the agricultural sector in Iraq – a strategic vision in the light of selected international experiences”, studying how to improve agricultural performance in Iraq through activating government spending and adopting a strategic vision based on successful international experiences in this field. The research aims to analyze the obstacles that prevent the development of the agricultural sector in Iraq, and to study how to apply international expertise in this field to improve the performance of the agricultural sector in Iraq, and to determine the necessary policies and procedures to activate government spending in this field. The results indicate that the challenges facing the agricultural sector in Iraq are the lack of investment, modern technologies and weak infrastructure.
