1. EMBASSY Baghdad does not have information indicating that
it would be inadvisable to give loans to the Rasun Company or
the Sarqala Company. Please note that IRMO/Private Sector
did not suggest the project with the Rasun Company, as stated
in ref B.
2. Evidence suggests that the northern Iraq poultry
producers lobbied the Kurdistan Regional Government to cease
issuing import licenses for poultry products. Post believes
this hinders US poultry exports to Iraq. However, supporting
this growing industry should result in a significant
demand-increase in feed materials, and thus provide more
opportunities for US grain suppliers to meet this demand.
