According to the statistics of 2022, Iraq has a population of about 42 million people. It is a country in Southwest Asia that borders Iran from the east. The provinces of Khuzestan, Ilam, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, and West Azerbaijan border with Iraq from the Iranian side.

The economic situation of Iraq

Also, the per capita GDP of this country in 2022 is about 7 thousand dollars, the share of the agricultural sector is 3.3%, the industrial sector is 51% and the service sector is 45.8%. This capacity shows the importance of the industry and also the need to use standard weighing devices.

 

Why accurate weighing devices are important?

A weighing device is supposed to help you weigh your products and receive the money which is proportionate to the weight of the shipment. This means that inaccuracy in weighing could lead to great losses. As a result, choosing the right truck scale which is manufactured by a reputable company is a significant decision.
