All the studied projects have achieved a net added value at the level of the national economy. The dairy cattle breeding project recorded the lowest net added value of about 914 million dinars (about 745 thousand dollars), and poultry projects achieved the highest added value of about 5 billion ID for the projects of table eggs production 4.9 billion ID for broiler projects, while the relative change in the standard showed that and the broiler production project is one of the most benefited from loan subsidies as the rate of change reached about 25%, while the project of broiler production and poultry hatchery and the project of raising milk cow have negative social return .The initiative's subsidies have increased the social rate of return for these projects to around 24%, 20.5%, and 20%. Agricultural loans from the agricultural initiative raise the national profitability of agricultural projects, which would contribute to the process of agricultural development in Iraq.

Summary
Investment projects play an important role in achieving better and more comprehensive development, as the best way to exploit the human, natural and financial capabilities, and is the ideal solution for many economic problems and crises directed by individuals and institutions, investment provides production and achieve self-sufficiency, and create new jobs and lead to raise the standard of living It creates political stability [13], Any investment decision must be subject to scrutiny under which the limits of the balance between its costs and burdens should be clarified on the one hand against the benefits it can achieve on the other, in order to be economically sound. Social return standard: This standard relates the present value of the national net value added (PNNAV), the current division of wages (WPV) and the present value of the investment costs of the project and is calculated by equation [16]: PNNAV − WPV. The higher this ratio, the higher the relative efficiency of the cost of the unit of labor, and add value to the national economy and the project becomes better, and we note here that the monetary cost of the labor component was adopted instead of the number of employment and the reason for this is that there is a variation in the experiences and skills of workers
