2nd FAO date conference - 15 fils

This stamp was issued in connection with the Second Baghdad Arab Fair, held in 1965, an important regional exhibition that brought together Arab countries to showcase achievements in agriculture, industry, trade, and economic development. The stamp depicts a grove of date palms, one of Iraq's most important agricultural resources and a symbol of the country's fertile river valleys. Date cultivation has been a cornerstone of Iraqi agriculture for centuries and has played a significant role in both domestic life and international trade.

By featuring date palms, Iraq highlighted the importance of agriculture within the broader framework of Arab economic cooperation and development. The issue celebrates the country's agricultural heritage and emphasizes the contribution of date production to national prosperity, while promoting the exchange of knowledge and resources among participating nations at the Baghdad Arab Fair.
