Trade relations between RI and Iraq

Trade relations between RI and Iraq

In the food and pharmaceutical sector, in an effort to help the Iraqi public meet food and medicinal needs, several pharmaceutical firms and food company executives have established trade contacts with the Iraqi government, particularly in a project tender which culminated in the Oil for Food program approved by the United Nations.

In the pharmaceutical sector, Indofarma, as a company coordinating no less than 16 pharmaceutical firms, held exhibitions in July 1997. The results have been seen this year with exports of pharmaceuticals from Indonesia under the Oil for Food program with a tender worth US$2 million.
