    Geographical Analysis of the production of red blame in Sulaymaniah Governorate(A study in geography economic)

The agricultural sector is the most important area among other economic sectors. It is the basis of the national economic structure. The livestock sector is an essential and productive agricultural activity for many of the food products, includes animal proteins, which are among the most important components of the human food pattern. This sector has its importance in the Kurdistan Region, in general, and the Sulaymaniyah governorate, in particular, considering that animal husbandry is a certified craft of the population in the region, and employs a large number of residents of the region, it reflects geographical conditions affecting animal production including beef sheep and goats. This does not include buffalo meat, because the number of buffalo is not a lot, and it does not exceed six hundred in the region.

The purpose of this study is to identify the importance of livestock in the production of meat, and the report of the numerical development of red meat animals. The livestock in the study area fluctuate qualitatively and quantitatively in number and production, because of a combination of natural and human factors; as the possibilities available in terms of number do not match the amount produced from red meat, as a result, there is not enough to meet the animal protein food needs of the population in this study.

In this research, the main problems such as local production of meat were highlighted in order to provide the consumer with food needs and to develop some appropriate solutions to address them.

In this study, the hypothesis of the extent of the production of red meat in local consumption has been formulated. Then, what are the ways to solve the food gap and how to develop local production of red meat? 

Statistical data on the number of animals and the production of red meat in government institutions are among the most important sources of research. However, the contrariety of data and statistics among various bodies, lack of credibility in some of them, and the lack of existing data, in which some of them are not accurate, considered the most important difficulties encountered in this study.
