What U.S. economic sanctions? It’s been revealed that the true reason for inflation in Iran is due to lack of food, not U.S. sanctions: “Between 38 to 40% of the Iranian families’ economy is related to food which requires us to build a base for reducing prices of nutritional products….”-Mohammad Reza Shafeinia, Ministry of Agricultural Jihad
After years of drought the Iranian Ag Industry is suffering from lack of water. In some places the fresh water sources have dropped so low the water is now too salty. The drought has also forced government agriculture administrators to abandon their plans to make Iran independent in wheat production (despite earlier reports saying Iran had a record wheat harvest this year). Even the cultivation of Iranian watermelons and rice is under threat by Mother Nature.
As a result Iran has announced its first foreign farm operation in neighboring Kazakhstan. A small farm of more than eight hectares (19 acres) has begun cultivation specifically for sale in Iran. But the next move for Iran is war torn Ukraine.
Despite the U.S. created civil war in European Ukraine, Iran plans to begin farming ops there within the next few months. After that a farm op in African Ghana. European Serbia has indicated that it will invest in Iran’s Agriculture Beyond Borders program.
In the South American Brazil, Iran is planning a 60-thousand hectares (148-thousand acres) Beyond Borders farm project.
