Abstract
Basra Governorate is one of the important governorates in Iraq, which includes a large number of large industrial facilities. These establishments vary in terms of specialization. The most important of these industries are agro-industries, specifically food industries. These factories produce more than ten types of food, as well as the petrochemical industries complex is localised in the governorate, which produces many oil derivatives that enter many industries. Accordingly, the industrial reality of agricultural industries in Iraq and chemical industries was studied and the study of the industrial cluster strategy was applied to the two industries with, representation of the role of chemical-based plastic industries in agricultural industries. The three industries are connected links that form an industrial cluster in themselves, if it is established, this will support the agricultural industries in a distinctive way. A map of the geographical distribution of the agricultural and chemical industries in the governorate was drawn. The results were in favour of the settlement of the two industries together in three important districts in the governorate, indicating that industrial clusters have a major role in the agricultural industries by the chemical industries, and the research ended with recommendations for government support for that important .strategy
