Murtada Kamel Muftin
Murtada Kamel Muftin is an Iraqi industrialist and owner of a food processing factory in Basra, specializing in tomato paste and syrup production. His factory has faced significant governmental and bureaucratic challenges for over seven years, primarily due to interference from the Italian company Eni, which has complicated efforts to revitalize local agriculture and industry. Muftin highlights the broader issues of agricultural decline and industrial stagnation in Iraq, drawing parallels to the themes in Abdul Rahman Munif's novel 'Cities of Salt,' where he reflects on the transformative impact of oil on society and the environment. His advocacy emphasizes the need for national projects that can harness local resources, reduce dependency on imports, and reinstate the agricultural identity of Basra.
