Thank you very much.
We work very closely with the Food and Agriculture Organization. We are both within the food security cluster. That is, we rely heavily on FAO, particularly for the agriculture.
Iraq is mainly a cereal-growing area; it's wheat. Most of the wheat goes into the government silos and into the public distribution system. A lot of the wheat that you find on the market will be imported wheat anyway. A certain amount of wheat has to be imported because the local wheat is not of a quality to make the local bread, so there is always a push-pull in the market.
Prices tend to be slightly inflated with the national produce. There's a little bit of an incentive for farmers to stay on the land, for reasons of curbing urbanization, but also of the importance of keeping people on the land to keep the dust down and to keep the salination of the plains at a reasonable level.
We monitor the markets with the ministries of planning in the KRG areas and also in the government. We go slowly. This is something that WFP does in all the countries of the world in which we work. We know how quickly we can manage. We watch whether or not prices are going too high; then we will slow up our implementation if we think it is not conducive to the local market.
