The general indicator of the total annual production of chicken meat was measured in this study; it was positive, nearly 8%; while the rise of total consumption of chicken meat was nearly 15.9% annually. The food gap between the domestic production and the total consumption rises nearly by (10677.54) tons annually throughout the period of the study; it is considered as a negative indicator for the administration of poultry sector in Iraq. The researcher recommends the necessity of paying attention to the production of poultry in Iraq, with the developmental needs; as well as supporting the prices of chicken meat in a certain rate to increase the supplied quantities.
