Iraq Plast, Agro Pack 2024 to Surpass Previous Editions
Iraq Plast and Agro Pack 2024 are on track to surpass all previous editions and become the largest plastics and agrofood event in Iraq to date. The events will be held from 25-28 November, 2024, at the Erbil International Fairground.
Overwhelming Market Demand
The overwhelming demand has prompted the event organizers, So Fuar and fair trade, to use both halls of the Erbil fairground to offer attendees a comprehensive and intensive experience. The expansion provides a thematic structure and reflects the commitment to delivering an unparalleled event that meets the diverse needs of exhibitors and visitors alike.
The 7th Agro Pack Iraq focuses on technology and materials for food and beverage packaging and processing. At the same time, the 5th edition of Iraq Plast gathers international and national suppliers of plastics raw materials as well as machinery and equipment for plastics processing. The expo also sends out a clear signal of the political will to expand local food production and the ‘Made in Iraq’ trend, expecting continuous growth in the coming years.
