INDUSTRY:
Iraq's main industry is oil production and it is one of the largest oil producing countries in the world. It is thought that the resource potential could be greater than originally believed, as deeper oil-bearing formations located mainly in the Western Desert region which have not yet been explored, could produce extra resources. Agricultural production is also important.
