This research aims to diagnose the reality of the sustainability system's performance in the field of disseminating modern technologies to increase wheat productivity in some provinces of the central region of Iraq (Baghdad, Wasit, Babil, and Karbala). The research relied on a descriptive approach, where data was collected from 274 agricultural extension workers using a questionnaire containing 45 items distributed across five main areas: planning and implementation, management, finance, research and development, and media. The results showed that the system's performance was high in all areas, with the media area receiving the highest weighted average (3.98), followed by planning and implementation (3.97), while finance ranked last with a weighted average (3.91). The results also revealed weak integration between responsible agencies, shortcomings in administrative and financial aspects, and weak media performance. Based on this, recommendations were made to enhance institutional coordination, improve management, increase funding, and enhance the role of the media to achieve sustainable wheat production.
