Abstract

This study aims to conduct an economic and standard analysis of the import function of the wheat crop through a number of factors affecting it in Iraq for the period (1990-2020), as the imported quantities were used as a dependent factor, while the independent factors were (produced quantities, national income, world price, Population, exchange rate), time series stability was tested by Dickey Fuller test (ADF) and ARDL model application, and co-integration between study variables was tested using Bound Test, and the results showed that there is a long-term equilibrium relationship (integration joint) between the imported quantities and the independent variables, and the study recommended the necessity of controlling On imports of the crop and increase the support provided to the local product, by setting the minimum product price of various agricultural commodities, as well as stopping imports at the time of peak production.
