TEHRAN (Iran News) In an interview with IRNA, Peyman Alami referred to the Israeli regime’s imposed war against Iran and the efforts to continue agricultural production and supply of essential goods. “During these challenging times, farmers and producers have kept the production front active so that people need not worry about securing their daily necessities,” he said.

Alami stressed that there is currently no problem in the production of agricultural products and essential household goods, and that producers are actively working. “For the future, necessary measures have been anticipated to maintain the country’s resilience and internal stability,” he added.

He assured that in the coming days and months, there will be no shortages in the production, supply, or distribution of agricultural products and essential goods. “Farmers and producers will do their utmost to keep the market stable,” Alami stated.

At the same time, he called on the government to support farmers and announced the Chamber’s readiness to cooperate with the government to help farmers and meet consumer market demands if needed.

Alami also reassured the public not to worry about the availability of essential goods and food items, advising families to purchase according to their usual needs to avoid temporary shortages caused by panic buying.

Regarding strategic reserves in production and agricultural units, Alami mentioned that the necessary recommendations have been given to guilds to ensure they do not face supply issues.

Pointing to the employment of 4.5 million people in the agricultural sector, Alami noted that 2.2 million are members of the Chamber of Agricultural Guilds. He concluded by emphasizing that with cooperation between guilds, the private sector, and the government, it is possible to manage the current situation effectively and move forward successfully.

]]> TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran has lifted for a second time in a year the price at which it buys locally produced new-season wheat as the government plans to purchase nearly 70 percent of the crop produced inside the country.

An Agriculture Ministry contractor for purchase of wheat said on Thursday that the minimum support price for purchase of wheat from the farmers of Iran this season would increase by 50 percent to reach 2.5 million rials (nearly $14) per 100 kg, Press TV reported.

Esmaeil Esfandiarpour said that the guaranteed purchase price (GPP) announced by the government for wheat this year would mean that at least 10.5 million metric tons of the crop would be bought from the farmers.

“Our estimates are not finished yet and the figures could rise,” said Esfandiarpour, adding that higher precipitation this year could increase the yields although he insisted that more weeds and pests were a major issue for some farms across the country.

This is a second time since the harvest season last year that the Iranian government has raised the buying price for wheat.

A GPP of 22,000 rials per kilogram announced in late September had sparked criticisms and concerns that many farmers would choose to sell their wheat to animal farmers who use the crop as feed.

There were also concerns that a low minimum price for wheat could lead to more illegal trafficking of the crop across the borders where demand for cheap wheat has increased in the neighboring countries.

Iran has managed to maintain a satisfying level of self-sufficiency in the production of wheat and several other key strategic crops over the past years.

The country expects at least 15 percent more wheat production this year at 14 million metric tons.
