• A sum of 2 trillion Iraqi dinars has been allocated for the reconstruction and development of projects in all governorates, which may include agricultural and irrigation projects.

• A sum of 38,227,841,258,000 Iraqi dinars (about 38 trillion dinars) has been allocated for local investment projects, which may include projects in the agricultural and irrigation sector.

• However, no specific amounts have been mentioned exclusively allocated by the Ministry of Agriculture to support the agricultural and irrigation sector in the available sources. The support seems to come within a broader framework of investment and development projects in the general budget of the state.
