Over the past five decades, Iraq has grappled with a series of crises that have left indelible marks on its social and economic fabric. Among these, the city of Hit has stood out as a striking example of the detrimental impact of abandonment crisis. The repercussions of this crisis have manifested in severe economic and social adversities within the city, ultimately catalysing a process of deurbanization as residents sought refuge in more stable urban centres. This research shed light on a potential solution rooted in the city's industrial legacy, particularly its time-honoured tahini and date honey production. By harnessing the inherent value of these industries, it aims to counteract the abandonment crisis and its far-reaching economic repercussions. A meticulously crafted four-fold strategy takes centre stage, outlining a path to realize the study's objectives. This comprehensive approach involves the creation of a distinctive product brand, a strategic campaign to accentuate both the product's allure and its cultural eminence, collaborative efforts with pertinent stakeholders to fortify the product's market presence, and a strategic fusion of the industry with the realm of tourism. Conclusively, this research illuminates a promising avenue to address the abandonment crisis and the multifaceted impact it has exacted on Hit. A viable mechanism emerges to alleviate the crisis's economic and social ramifications. Through a systematic execution of the proposed strategy, the potential for revitalization becomes palpable, offering a beacon of hope for Hit's resurgence from the throes of abandonment.
