The project involves establishing a company to exploit a gypsum quarry in Iraq. The gypsum quarry project is considered a vital project due to gypsum’s multiple uses and the areas in which it is a vital component. Gypsum concrete blocks are used in building construction. Gypsum is also used in the construction sector, where gypsum boards or drywall are used as wall and ceiling finishes. Gypsum is used in agriculture to reclaim saline soil, improve the soil, and reduce the toxicity of aluminum and boron in acidic soil. It also improves soil structure and enhances water absorption and aeration. Nova Scotia gypsum, commonly referred to as gypsum, was known as a fertilizer for wheat fields in the early 18th century. Gypsum is used to reclaim saline soil regardless of pH. Mashroo3k Company provides investors interested in investing in a concrete block factory project in Iraq with a set of specialized feasibility studies based on updated databases specific to the Iraqi market, which helps ensure the project’s success, achieve the highest return on investment, and achieve the best payback period.
