turn us into the judicial center of the region. in addition to greetings to both guests , i would like to start with mr. mohajer, who was present in that meeting. mr. mohajer, please tell me what is going to happen from the latest news and the final statement that was read in your presence what role did iran play in drafting the final statement? well, in the name of allah, the merciful. first of all, i would like to say hello to all your dear viewers. i would like to serve you as hazrat. the 14th meeting of brics ministers of agriculture was held in moscow on thursday and friday last week, which coincided with the so-called presidential elections of the islamic republic of iran.

the minister is at the level of the deputy minister, the so-called management of the russian minister of agriculture, mrs. dr. lot, and he is in charge of the management, well, in this meeting. as you know, more than 40% of the world's population lives in these few countries , more than 50% of food production. there are only a few countries in the world. more than 30% of the world's economy is in these countries. if we count them alone, then it is definitely stronger than the european union , stronger than many of the so-called countries in the world , and it can create a special situation for the countries. create a member both in production and in food security and in traders. pain and also in the discussion of the transfer of food

from north to south and west to east. thank you very much. an introduction, mr. mohajer, a report, colleagues. i am in the agriculture group of the sed and sima news agency . if you agree with the viewers, let's go and see it together. we will come back and follow up on our conversation . the commercial networks of the agricultural sector will expand with the cooperation of iran and berix. it was from the 14th brics ministerial meeting for agriculture in russia. according to mr. mohajer, development of cooperation, transfer of knowledge and exchange of information in the field of forest restoration and enrichment, combating desertification and development of smart agriculture and improvement of judicial security were among the axes of this summit. one of the blocks the economy that is formed in the world is a matter of brics member countries, these countries gather

together, discuss general economic issues and want to create conditions that they can do with these conditions. they should clarify the buying and selling and make economic issues easier so that they can provide more benefits for their people and their country. the deputy minister of economic diplomacy of the ministry of foreign affairs says that these summits can help in understanding the opportunities and weaknesses of the brics member countries. now you want to export to china. the most important organ of the customs body should be the standard standards those that are relevant. the privileged geographical location of our country's many trans-regional positions, including being in the north-south corridor

, is emphasized by the brics members. the unique north-south transport artery, part of which includes the astara railway, is a fundamental help. these are very good opportunities for our country to be able to use these opportunities for national interests . our country

has become a permanent member of brics since the beginning of this year, that is, 11 months of last year. you say that as the private sector and the representative of the private sector. how much can this action and this way that has been opened in brics be helpful for our private sector , how much can it use this capacity for those axes that were mentioned in this meeting and mr. mohajer mentioned it in the report together. we saw it in the name of god and greetings to our dear viewers , just as mr. engineer said, brics includes about half of the world's population, which is about 30 % of the economic power. it covers the world and in the end its gross production is about 57 billion dollars, this shows that many big things are happening in the economy and we are for the security of our judiciary. we can use this environment with

the agreements that are made, such as the european union and many other countries that have the same meaning and have the same meaning as brics, china, russia and india . my opinion is that we should not interact only on brics , we should also interact with other similar countries and a great work can be done, especially judicial security in relation to extraterritorial cultivation. it was produced under your supervision in moscow what

should we do, and it is very important for us, the discussion of trade in so-called agricultural products, the discussion of intelligentization in the agricultural sector, these are the issues that were raised in this meeting, it was decided that the next meeting of the meeting will be held in brazil next year, and it was approved in this meeting. the issues of judicial security were examined in detail, considering the events that happened in the world in the last four or five years, the role of judicial security is no longer hidden from anyone, and all countries are looking to have an important and relative judicial security. to be able to manage their country without worry in this discussion meeting

the judicial security that was taken into consideration was meant for countries to be able to create conditions in which they can help each other in difficult situations and provide each other with the food they need and ease restrictive laws so that education can be achieved. besh , the russian government had a proposal in this food trade exchange based on the fact that we can create a trade mechanism, in this trade mechanism, we can ease the conditions and rules and make these restrictive rules in front of the private sector. let's reduce the government, which was approved, of course. iranians, who were in the so-called, there we suggested that in addition to the issue of qalat, other products

should also be considered in this framework, for example , here it was the issue of qalat, its trade should be taken into consideration, we discussed other products such as fruits, vegetables and products that we have for export. we also suggested that it should be considered and approved. you mentioned that business mechanisms should be facilitated. obviously, if we want to talk more specifically, what mechanisms need to be modified, what obstacles are there, which were examined in this meeting and it was decided that these should be facilitated. it should be solved. well, the simple thing that is usually used in sanctions, usually by the united states of america and against independent countries, is to close swift , to prevent exchange. commercially, the issue of the so-called lack of security for ships in order to prevent insurance and

there are many such issues that in this implementation are supposed to work on these issues and create conditions that, god willing, we can reduce these and solve the problems, according to mr. rezaei. as the private sector, you think about the most important challenges that we have so far, because we are talking about the opportunity that was in the brics meeting in this meeting. what are the challenges and obstacles that have already been discussed, mr. mohajerem? basically, you , as the front line of the private sector, who are doing the work , what challenges and obstacles do you see that should facilitate this business mechanism ? it should be based on national interests. this is the most important part. i would like your presence to pay attention to the fact that in our country we have water shortage problems , we have sanctions problems. it is better to homogenize our standardization with other countries, for example, in

relation to the export of saffron to china , a tax of 38 and a half percent is levied on the trip that you are visiting. we had a meeting with mr. dr. khabazi, the honorable deputy minister to china, two weeks ago . now the import tax is 18, and saffron is included in the basket of chinese medicines. i am sorry to hear that chinese food is also used as spices . this is one of the important issues . it is true that we now have a burden in relation to dry goods, well, we have competing countries, for example, in pistachios, which are 2 dollars below the price of iranian pistachios they are selling iran in china, just like america, this year

the production of america was 750,000 tons, we produced about 220,000 tons . let's make the transit more awake . we can reach this conclusion more easily thanks to your presence. we should use it, but in my opinion, it should not be looked at in a single dimension, we should definitely go and become a member of w.d., and why should our saffron go from our country to another country because it is part of w. don't pay 38 or 18 taxes and there, under the price of the iranian exporter , our saffron producer is exported in the name of that country . basically, in grix and this meeting that was held , what capacities will be opened up for iran in the field of agriculture

so that it can use them, export again, export , import, and what opportunities will be available to us in the field of trade? well, i thank you for your very good question, as you said, well, our country is in a very good area. it has been established that it is possible to export many products of the brics member countries easily. in general

, if we can strengthen the conditions of our corridor and create better conditions, this is a great capacity for us, in addition to these discussions, which were multilateral, the negotiations between the two countries. we had a side with the russian side, well , they can easily

provide us with the quantities that we cannot produce here, such as soybeans and corn, and we can easily export them, and it is a very large capacity that was welcomed. we formed 2 so-called working groups working groups can discuss both laws and regulations, for example , we are dealing with animal medicine, plant medicine , cold chain, and even considering that they have a very large fleet of air transportation, we

can directly send many goods from giro. at a time when it is 30 degrees below zero, we are above 30 degrees there, you can export our goods and this is a great achievement that if we can strengthen without the political view that exists in the world, we can easily use this trade capacity with russia and other countries. in this way, we can use how much capacity there is, except for russia, the rest of the british countries yes, countries like brazil are slow. after all, india and china alone have nearly half of the world's population . brazil is a very big country. south africa has very good intentions with us, both politically and economically. if we export to these countries and

import their products to the country, what potential market do these countries have in the field of agriculture that our private sector can use , as mr. rezaei also said? ahmad ma 10 the products in the world, the rest of our products , our medicinal products, we can calculate and export, like dates, like saffron, like pistachios. now, as an example, i will say that the russian government is very interested in the fact that we can export apples . now is the time. we will be close to harvesting apples, so we can export our citrus fruits , they are interested, we can simplify them. these are great capacities that we should use. in my opinion , the private sector should come and enter the field, and the public sector should also help with education. we

have a problem in the private sector, one of the opportunities that the sector has our private sector cannot use it. it is a matter of brand building. it means that anyone gets up and exports products to these countries, and once he exports , he does not export again. this official is of poor quality. therefore, we have to define a mechanism that we are looking for in the ministry of agriculture, so that we don't allow anyone to enter the import and export business and become the owner of the brand. if he has enough experience , he knows the laws of the country. for example , i will give you the deputy minister of agriculture of russia he said that the goods you see all have the same standard. it doesn't mean that there is one, for example, in a box of apples, for example, a small box, and these are the things that we must comply with, and i definitely

agreed with them to work on this issue so that we can create a solution that our exports as a brand name iran , considering that our country is in a region that enjoys a lot of sunshine, the quality of most of our products is better than the foreign ones, it can be used in the world market. dedicate yourself to yourself. thank you, mr. rezaei. how much do you accept this weakness in our export field as well? branding is also done in the field of standards that you mentioned and what it is doing in the chamber of commerce with the cooperation of the private sector, which we have heard a lot about in other products . yes, let's see. brics can be a huge golden opportunity to export agricultural products. but we actually need a value chain, as you said, we need a value chain, which should

be implemented in the country, whether in the private sector or in the government, and now the ministry of interior has really put in a lot of effort, along with the chamber of commerce and the ministry of agriculture and this chain is being created in different fields, now from cultivation, production , processing, packaging, export and branding. the important thing is that, unfortunately, the laws of creation and sale have really caused a lot of problems for the exporters of the last two years. what can you see, for example , on eid night, within 24 hours, they banned the export of cibu ? he has packed these and bought them for export from onor. he found that he has several million dollars in exports and he is taking his goods like a chain and taking them to his warehouse for sale, think that it should be cut off, its credibility

with this producer has been lost, and the producer stayed here, he went to the room where we, through the communication of the parliament and the minister himself, decided to remove this, and the export of apples will be stopped for 48 hours. big hit to apples and no more buying apples from iran in india , they are selling a song 40% below the price of iran , that is , it has reached such a place. let the issue be resolved soon. how much do you think this will harm the discussion? mr. mohajer, we wanted to become the food center of the region through these corridors and roads . how many problems do you think we have in agriculture? one of our many problems is that our agriculture is not mechanized. today, many of us

have 10,000 hectares of land that has been widely cultivated in the country. we have a part in jiroft and a few parts of the country , but most of them are owned by owners. we really have to accept this and this is a problem. a coordination and a cooperative team work that can be done with high quality export a handful of apples, our exporters are also professional and it is always supply and demand that do the talking, and we must be sure that the quality of apples coming from iran is the best in terms of the conditions that mr. engineer said, now this is it. in terms of packaging and branding, see one of our exporters for a creation. going to an international exhibition should cost at least 15,000 euros for 4 days. can the exporter who is going to fulfill his obligations

, and before the trade development organization accepted 50% of the costs, now this is a debate. we say that the centrality of food is only not production , that is, for example, it can be import, re-export , or processing. how much can we do on these? how much can we work on these? there is a lot of work to be done. we can plant wheat instead of coming to iran. let's plant barley, let's plant the poison that we need , take it out of the country, we are not stronger than america , we are not stronger than china, in production and the country, with everyone going to other countries, they produce and bring their products to the country, they sell the surplus they sell it and import it into their country instead of this, let's work on 10 species of medicinal plants in the country that create added value

. the requirements of your order that we should use the north-south and east-west crossings and this opportunity created for us in brics and become the center of the region's food. please tell me how the private sector, other sectors, the ministry of home affairs and organizations should express this with you please help to make this come true. well, as i said at the beginning, considering the geographical position of the islamic republic of iran, especially the southern half of iran , where we are in winter, which is usually in countries like russia, and even if we are now outside the brics , such as kazakhstan, turkmenistan, kyrgyzstan, the countries of the group caucasus, well, these are at below zero temperature, well, we are

easy. we can provide them with the condition that we know how much they want, so to speak . i will give you an example. i happened to show a film to the russian side in the same meeting that we have thousands of hectares on a rock in hormozgan province. we are growing tomatoes, but it is completely industrial , there is not even one millimeter of soil in the open air, so this product is produced. it has the highest global standards in terms of quality, so we can export this easily, so it is necessary that we can use the air capacity of russia to transport these products from jiroft, as i said, hormozgan, especially bandarbas and disful and if this happens

, we can export a lot of goods , but the problem that comes back to our private sector is about branding, with branding as we think of responsibility as the person who owns the brand does not want to export fake goods that will damage the name of iran or the brand name, and that is why we need to know who wants to export what quantity and what product when. tick we want to make wheat self-sufficient in the country and remain self-sufficient, and well, in this area.

to produce inside the country, well , instead of this, we can produce the products needed by those countries in the areas where we have this capacity, export them, instead of importing these products into the country , which causes horizontal pressure on the country as well. it will be removed. of course, it would be nice to export as well . please tell me what things we can import , process, and re-export. countries that cannot do this , there is one point regarding this issue, because i saw that it was mentioned in your programs, it is a double-edged sword. you see, we have to solve our problem because one of the programs of the brics member countries is to have a common supply , that's why

we are worried about establishing a bank, and that is that the terms of his excellency's supply, we cannot assume that we have the capacity now. magnificence of najat flour factory inside we have a country, we have to import our wheat into the country , make it into flour, and then export it, so this requires a very strong mechanism, because we now import wheat with the government's allowance, and it works for us.
