i present my plans based on four main orientations. first, efforts and seriousness in continuing to implement legal tasks and upstream documents. second: removing the limiting factors of sustainable and profitable production. the third direction of development. balanced all components of the value chain with an emphasis on the restoration and completion of national, provincial and regional value chains the hope of ensuring the judicial security of the people of the agricultural institution is the basis of the knowledge of the village of variety and the growth of production. now , 9 months have passed since mr. nikbakht's leadership in the ministry of agricultural affairs. it should be seen how many of

these missions have been implemented. alireza shoukti, sed and sima news agency. ok. we have seen the report, one of the important topics in which the instructions or strategies that the honorable president of the islamic republic gave you was to consider the self-sufficiency of agriculture in the field of various products. this was an important task face. the ministry of agriculture is responsible for the issue of food supply and judicial security in the islamic republic of iran. we

are hosting a large number of people in order to provide food for a population of over 85 million people. the concern of the supreme leader and honorable mr. d. jumhori, my servant and all those involved in serving you is the agricultural sector, so that we can provide food , well, according to the limitations that exist , we have our water resources, soil resources, climate and financial resources from what are the influencing factors? in food production, despite all these restrictions , the conditions of the country. it is in such a way that with the help of knowledge-based companies, agricultural universities, elite professors of the agricultural sector, institutions and organizations for research, education and promotion of our own agriculture, we can use the new sciences and techniques and technologies

and in a way the agriculture of scientists and productive. in any case, we can tell you that with the help of all the dear ones that i have mentioned , we will meet the needs of the country inside the country. according to the restrictions, that is, mr. minister, we have this capacity inside the country for 85 million people in the field of basic products. self-sufficient, i will explain to you in the continuation of your service . we have existing water resources and the country is located in a dry and semi-arid region, so we have to accept that we do not have good water conditions like other countries that have high average rainfall and rivers have plenty of underground water and surface water. we

have limited resources. soil and especially our water, i can tell you that with the same resources we have, if we don't have an increase in the level due to these restrictions, we have to focus on the functions, that is, the use of basic knowledge, and for example , the nuclear energy organization had set up a nuclear energy exhibition, and there they actually produced products whose production had increased to the level of yes. this is exactly what we mean, let me tell you what our harvesting level per hectare is at the moment . let me tell you that we have a record in our products

. let me give you an example of the service of his highness the noble nation of iran wheat up to 12. 13 tons are sometimes harvested by our exemplary and leading farmers. our average in the country is 3 and a half to four tons. with the help of agricultural scientists, science and new technologies and the use of your opinions and services, the use of scientists and elites of our agricultural sector, science and technology, we can bring the techniques to the farm, to the farmer. let's educate, promote and more. use new methods and raise the harvest level per unit area, for example, if we have 2 million hectares of wheat under cultivation, instead of telling you that we have half to 4 tons

, we will harvest if we can achieve this. the average is 7. in these two million hectares , we can harvest 13.14 million tons of wheat. it is the same in our amzar dam, it is the same in the other production units, it is the same in our poultry units, in our livestock units, in our shinati manifestations, in all our production units, we can improve the current situation, the level of the amount and harvest of the product. let's raise the level in the unit and have an increase in production as a whole. did you, mr. minister , take the helm of the ministry of agriculture in the 9 months that you came to work with the scientific companies in this field? signed a memorandum of understanding has there been any cooperation or not? i

would like to inform you that with the help of the vice president for science and technology , mr. dr. dehghan , we recently organized an exhibition for the companies of agricultural scientists in different specialties, in different fields, and anyway, i had presented their products. i believe mr. abdini. it is based on the fact that we leave space for the activities of science-based companies in various fields of agriculture, and to the extent that knowledge-based companies come forward and provide products, they will actually provide the same ratio as us. let's go back and leave the work to them and actually create a market for them. let's support and support. in the field of vaccine and drug production,

now 3 or 4 of these companies are made up of scientists who are mostly young graduates of the country. coming from prestigious universities and starting the work , razi institute used to do this work alone. he produced different vaccines. he produced various assets in the field of livestock and even humans. today, i would like to tell you that we are opening the space for these. god willing, we will open soon after the holidays we will hold a meeting with them to give them this hope and inform them of the conditions that we have provided, that in any case, their products are a priority for us to enter the market and the production units can be very effective and play an important role. they are emphasizing on the president's presidency, that is why the scientific vice president is also seriously pursuing the work. now, we are depriving the agricultural products in which areas we have more

. let me tell you our total production this year, 402 years ago. we are finalizing the statistics. but so far, our preliminary estimates and estimates show that we produced 130 million tons of products in the year 402 in the country. well, currently 130 million tons, as i said, if we make good use of manabi, there is definitely room to increase many of these products. and we imported something close to 25 million tons in 402 . here

are the basic commodities that we have in short supply: rice, sugar, wheat, and oil. anyway, a part of this 25 million tons includes a commodity. it is basic and there is a percentage related to all types of forced labor in addition to poisons and fertilizers that enter the country . it shows that we are serving you. compared to this 25 million tons, 130 million tons is a high figure. mr. abdini, to put forward as my example , your service to the nation. sharif iran, we

have considered the strategy that we have for the ministry of agriculture in this period as a principle, well , providing the domestic needs of basic goods is our first priority, this is the emphasis of mr. president , we believe that the needs of the country should be met first. inside let's provide the country, this will make the country stronger in terms of food and security. i would like to tell you that now we have come to see some of the basic products. 12 13 we targeted the product , we produced the program , we have no more than 2 ways to provide food, either we do it with domestic production , or we have to import the shortage, we have a need in the country, in any case, we either have a surplus or we have a shortage. if there is a shortage, we should import. if there is more, we should export. we should export so that the production can find strength and the

producer will be supported. you can see that the strategy we laid down , we said to produce, implies that we will meet the domestic needs, and our producer should also target exports. exports can be the best lever and the best tool to encourage agriculture to support the producer and domestic production. it is implied that investment is followed by development of production. employment will happen, exports will take place, and supply will follow for the country. well, if you look at this year, there have been few years like this year when the problems of previous years have been faced in the discussion of cultural tomatoes, potatoes and onions. to be we had less problems. my market

is calm. today, as i speak to you, i do not believe at all. we don't want to create an absolute ban on the export of agricultural products. our country has a talent, the climate is very suitable for production in all seasons of the year, which is less in all seasons of the year. it is a country where from 1 year 43 to the end of 43 people, there is always fresh produce , fresh budget. they are using that sign. anyway, it is a scientific work done in the country. we are talking to you today , more than 10 thousand tons in these three products of the group vegetables and safi are being exported to foreign countries and countries around us. this is a kind of opportunity use. now we have tomatoes, potatoes, onions, and we export them to other countries. in these 3

pens, more than 10 thousand tons are being exported daily . we are supplying domestically as well, in the best possible way and i will not say the least, there is no problem. i do not claim that 100 problems have been solved at all levels, both at the producer level , at the consumer level, and at the industry level, and at the the level of export and the field of commerce, but we can claim that with the help of our farmers and with the effort that we spend. giving and being smart and serving you, i would like to tell you that the economic working of 4002, the last year , we had the least fluctuations in terms of quantity and price in the market of these products. or if we were to produce, because

it was not export-oriented and there was no special attention, we now put the main strategy as export , anyway, in some years we exported, in some years we imported more than 136,500 tons in 2002. we exported eggs 3 times more than 3 times in the year 400 ad and one and a half years ago in fact, according to my belief, we should leave the related matters to the organization , we left the export, the market management, and the production to the relevant union, they decide how to carry out the incubation and development of the industry, and to what extent. how to produce and regulate exports so that the domestic market

does not suffer, mr. minister, it is a problem that happens every year. it was that there were many circulars in the field of agricultural product export , which means that our exporter takes the agricultural product to the border and wanted to export it, but they said no. it is forbidden, and this would also cause mistrust of the foreign party and our businessmen would be harmed in this area. what did you do in this regard? yes , i would like to tell you that in 402, i obliged my colleagues to hold ourselves responsible in the same way. from the farm to the table, from the farm to the factory, from the farm to the border and export , you have rightly pointed out this, his highness, considering

the bitter experiences that existed in the past, we have tried to smooth things out and facilitate the affairs. minimize restrictions and prohibitions if necessary various commissions of the government to get the necessary permits, support and guide them so that the producer can do the production work with the least concern , the industry can do the product processing work with the least concern, and the merchants can do the business work and remove the restrictions, i am satisfied anyway. i am not aware of what happened in 4002 anyway. but we are definitely going in the direction where there were at least some problems in 403. we consider ourselves as a small producer and in fact

we are at the service of our producer because if the producer is damaged, the supply will definitely be damaged. bineh, the exporter will definitely suffer and the industry will suffer, all the important circles for us as the guardians of our agricultural sector, if we produce. if we don't have industries that can collect and process these products and turn them into added value , there we will have a crisis again for the conversion industry in different areas, for example, we have apples in some areas such as west azerbaijan and these , and agricultural products in some areas. i was going to please tell you that yes, i am in the infrastructure anyway, which we will deal with if we get a chance. we put watershed management as our first priority my second priority in terms of infrastructure is water and soil projects that could save water and

the proper use of soil in our investment area , the fisheries area is very important. we are actually lagging behind . there are places where we have a lot of water resources , we have very good questions in the north and south that can breed fish in cages, we can be one of the important exporters of both warm cellar fish and shrimp farming , which is my second priority in cooling the industry. i will answer the question of his highness here in any case, the development of the industry is what we are looking for. new industries. with a high level of technology. minimize waste . for example, in shahrivar, we usually

harvest our cultural tomatoes. we harvest 60,000 tons of cultural funds daily. on average, at that time, we export about 2,500 to 3,000 tons and a maximum of 4,000 tons. 7 thousand tons of fresh food inside the market. this is an industry that is coming to help and it is producing pastes and antiseptics or making purees and concentrates of all kinds of fruits and products. dear governors, i would like to thank the ministry of hearing. we all joined hands and the association of this industry came into use, and anyway , they were able

to absorb 50,000 tons of tomatoes in the month of shahrivar, and it is one of the rare years that something close to 240,000 tons of us in 4002 were sterile. we have been exporting more and more to foreign countries, except for rare years, which you did not see this year anyway. i would like to tell you that the roads of west azarbaijan are abandoned with industrial apples and padrekhti, and in any case, the ugly and disgusting situation is seen. the fact that we have tied industry to production , we have tied trade to production, both trade and industry are warm to us. who has a food industry complex or a paste factory, we say that we do not allow you to enter septic tank to produce paste here as a raw material. the sufficient condition for your import

is that you must buy the tomatoes inside or the apples inside, then you are allowed. we ask you to import puree or concentrate from abroad . this has caused the industry to be tied to our gardeners and farmers, and to our milk, and actually on the way to supporting the producer should be placed in the area of ​​b. i believe that the government should withdraw itself , be a policy maker, monitor and support the merchants. we have actually tied the commercial work to the production work. how about us rice importers? we produce a certain amount of rice, but we have a shortage that must be imported from abroad, those who import rice.

we have collected these in several meetings and justified that in any case, to serve the production in the service of the producer and to support the domestic production, we said that the necessary condition to import rice and to register the order is to give permission. this is that you have to go and buy domestic rice from the farmer first, and it is not good for our farmer to produce rice with thousands of efforts, we have to buy rice from other countries and bring it, first they have to buy domestic rice in proportion and in proportion to what they bought domestic rice. they allow us to let them import rice , that's all. that means we can actually tie businessmen and industry to the government producer. we bought it, and then it was scarce , it was lost, and all the losses were brought to the government.

the purchase that we made from the farmer was a purchase that i can tell you was at the threshold of the price floor , which did not bring any profit to the farmer. mr. minister , regarding the kash model, which is another mission that the president has assigned to the ministry of agriculture , has the land survey been done now or not? well, the land of the year. at the time of the budget program , many studies were conducted both at the national level and at the level of the provinces . we really have an opinion on the national level , both provincially and urbanly, in the district and at the national level, we have a lack of studies, information, data and service. we are not aware that these exist i want to tell you about the country and your service. it can be exploited

. i want to tell you that the farmers are listening to me at the national level. they are listening to me in a traditional way. from generation to generation, a type of farming model has been passed on to them. these are our fathers and currently, our farmers, those who are farming in a traditional way, have a pattern of farming, this pattern of cultivation has been passed down to them from generation to generation , according to the many situations i had with the farmers and still have, well, this with flesh, skin and bones. we have touched and are touching my colleagues, as they are very well known even in their own lands they call this land by name, for example , they use it as a plot.

in this case, this shows that the farmer has a cultivation pattern, we have prepared the cultivation pattern anyway, the ministry of agriculture has reviewed this, we are ready to implement it, but we have to look for it to implement the cultivation pattern and what we have set as a target. it definitely needs strong ideas so that we can kill the heresies of the past. the crops that i mentioned have been established as a model, but these are changing anyway incentives should be given so that i can tell you that the new cropping pattern is appropriate for us. now , yes, we are following this , the program organization and the central bank, hoping to god, for the next crop year.
