Rp- Geographical potential for the cultivation of industrial crops (sunflower- corn- sesame) and their development prospects in Karbala Governorate.pdf

The industrial feasibility study is one of the important studies, commitment to agricultural and industrial activity together, as agricultural production is one of the important and basic pillars of the governorate’s economy and providing food needs for the population. Agricultural industries are also part of the transformation industries based on agricultural production by converting raw agricultural materials into food products that contribute to securing food for the population, for the same tagged forms (geographical locations for growing industrial crops (sunflower – corn – sesame) and their development prospects in the holy Karbala Governorate). Including the first industrial chapter (sunflower, sesame and corn) in terms of its concept, origin, uses, nutritional value and economic importance. The second chapter focused on the factor of natural, human and biological geography, as agricultural production increases in this factor, which leads to an increase and decrease in the impact of agricultural production on the development of agricultural industries, meaning that half of the land is still uncultivated, as well as knowing the cultivated areas and uncultivated areas in Karbala Governorate according to the agricultural districts in Karbala Governorate, where the total green area is about (1833015) dunums, where the cultivated plants become (1340913) dunums, the cultivated green areas (492102) dunums, in Karbala Governorate, completion of the production rate and productivity, which corn crop is the highest percentage in Karbala Governorate. Karbala does not have many reasons for farmers to cultivate these products, as well as partially the climatic and human factors that help increase the production of this product. In the meantime, the sunflower crop is the least number of numbers due to the scarcity of water and the lack of agricultural support for farmers, in addition to facing many farmers to grow vegetables with full growth that achieve profits for them. The study showed that what is attributed between technological and industrial capabilities with dealing with Pearson and between the statistical results there are correlations (strong and medium status), and that most of the statistical relationships are separated, and discussing the most prominent problems facing the cultivation of industrial crops in Karbala province, which is important in the problem of water resources – its scarcity and soil salinity and lack of diversity as well as the human aspect such as the problem of the number of workers and capital and urban sprawl and foreign competition. An attempt to develop solutions and proposals for these problems. I decided to conduct a partial spatial research for future development in agriculture and production, and through studying the spatial facilities for growing industrial crops in the holy Karbala Governorate, after excluding residential areas in Karbala Governorate, where it was distinguished that the highest percentage in the study area is partial areas with a high percentage of 33%, followed by medium areas suitable for a percentage of 29%, and finally suitable for a percentage of 22%, while the areas were not suitable for vision at a percentage of 13%, using the GIS system, and the results are consistent with the area allocated because most of the lands of the study area
