The research aims to identify agriculture research problems from the researchers' point of view and identify differences in total problems according to some variables in Sulaimani Governorate, then to determine the differences in average of total problems according to some variables.

The research population included all researchers in college of agricultural, technical institutes, agricultural research centre, agricultural research stations, agricultural extension department in Sulaimani Governorate and agricultural research involved 282 respondents.

A questionnaire was prepared for this purpose.

To measure the validity, the questionnaire was reviewed by some experts.

The reliability coefficient was calculated by Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and its value was (0.77).

The results showed that the total problems are facing researchers during conducting agricultural research from the researchers' point of views was medium tend to high, furthermore the results revealed that there are significant differences in the total problem according to the following characteristics (Age, Academic title, Job duration, Job satisfaction).

While non-significant differences were found according to (Gender, Educational level, Work location, Attitude toward agricultural research).

The researchers recommended providing all requirements for scientific researches by the concerned authorities in terms of material and moral, review laws and legislation and instructions related to the scientific research by the responsible authorities to facilitate conducting scientific research, need to expand opportunities for interaction and coordination between researchers in educational and agricultural institutions with researchers from outside Kurdistan and other countries, and to provide financial support for scientific research by stakeholders and non-governmental organizations The research aims to identify agriculture research problems from the researchers' point of view and identify differences in total problems according to some variables in Sulaimani Governorate, then to determine the differences in average of total problems according to some variables.
