Initially, SAK is focusing on the following contracts: sugar, milk, tea, rice, wheat, sunflower oil, hand soap, and laundry detergent in direct support of the Ministry of Trades' Food Subsidy Program in our efforts to ease the strain on that portion of the Iraqi population in the greatest need and who are at the greatest risk. The Ministry of Trade exerts great efforts to supply the population with quality subsidized food products; we at SAK are committed to support the Ministry of Trade in this vital mission.

SAK have observed real change on the ground in Iraq and to support this continued effort SAK will enter into Direct and Marketing Contracts for cement, steel, lumber, ductile pipe and other construction materials needed by the Ministry of Trade. SAK expects that within 30 to 45 days of the date of signature for each contract initiated by the Ministry of Trade, SAK can begin off loading supplies of ALL these commodities, filling Ministry warehouses in Basra, Iraq.
