Iranian agricultural diversification initiatives

Overview

Agricultural authorities in Iran are implementing various initiatives to address environmental challenges and boost economic growth through diversification.

In Khuzestan province, efforts include exploring ostrich farming in Izeh to create employment through meat and skin production, as well as reviving inactive red meat fattening units. These livestock initiatives aim to improve productivity by strengthening links between input supply and processing through contract production frameworks.

To manage water scarcity, authorities are promoting low-water-requirement crops. In Varamin, officials are encouraging the cultivation of angelica, a medicinal plant that offers long-term productivity. Similarly, in Kermanshah, plans are underway to cultivate 1,000 hectares of rain-fed Camelina, with a focus on establishing contract cultivation to ensure guaranteed buyers for the harvest.
