As part of the practical component of the Agricultural Marketing Techniques course for third-year students, and in line with the department’s efforts to enhance hands-on learning and align it with labor market needs, the Department of Agricultural Economics recently hosted two student-led discussion sessions. The sessions were organized under the supervision of the Head of the Department, Prof. Dr. Iskandar Hussein Ali, and the course instructor, Assistant Professor Dr. Qais Tami Jassam.
The first session, presented by Ms. Hawraa Mohammed, focused on “Marketing Locally Produced Dates Using Modern Packaging Methods in Line with the Trend Towards Environmentally Friendly Packaging Alternatives”. The presentation highlighted a small-scale project proposal aimed at developing innovative marketing strategies for dates.
The second session, delivered by Mr. Abbas Sabah, addressed “Marketing Locally Produced Rice in Local Markets”. The discussion examined the effects of production fluctuations on the marketing and distribution of rice.
Both sessions provided students with an opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge in practical contexts, fostering skills that are essential for careers in agricultural marketing and agribusiness.
