Kurdistan Flower hopes to supply half Iraq’s roses

Sidqi Barwari developed an interest in roses 19 years ago while plucking a bouquet for the guest table of the KRG prime minister. He is currently one of the biggest rose importers in the Kurdistan Region and is beginning to grow his own.

Barwari is the founder of Kurdistan Flower – a company that grows and imports flowers.

He started his business 13 years ago with a shop, importing and selling flowers.

When he first started importing, he was buying flowers from Iran and Turkey. These days, he is bringing them from the Netherlands, Ecuador, Colombia, and Kenya.

Two years ago, he built a garden to grow roses.

He picks 1,500 to 2,000 roses in his garden and sells them to florists in town every day. He also exports to Mosul and Baghdad. His goal is to sell 200,000 roses monthly.
