Doğrudan Yabancı Yatırımlar (DYY), gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önemli bir ekonomik büyüme kaynağı olarak görülmektedir. Kuzey Irak Bölgesel Yönetimi, kalkınma ivmesini artırmak amacıyla bölgeye mümkün olduğu kadar yabancı yatırımcıları çekmek için elverişli bir yatırım ortamı oluşturmayı planlamıştır. Bu çalışma, yabancı yatırımcıların bölgedeki tarım sektörüne yatırım yapmasını engelleyen temel engelleri veya faktörleri değerlendirmektedir. Çalışmada bölgenin tarım sektörüne olan yatırımların genel bir değerlendirmesinin yanı sıra, özellikle de 2006-2016 döneminde DYY'nin bölgede son on yılda neden önemli ölçüde artmadığının temel nedenlerini de değerlendirilmektedir.
