Tehran – Iran has launched a government program to purchase 10,000 heads of heavy livestock, with the first purchases already underway in North Khorasan province.

 

Ibrahim Hassan-Nejad, Deputy Minister of Agriculture for Livestock Production, announced the initiative during a visit to agricultural projects in Maneh County.

 

Hassan-Nejad emphasized that the program aims to support livestock producers by providing a stable market and ensuring fair prices for their animals. This initiative is crucial for ensuring a consistent supply of strategic meat for the domestic market while mitigating the risk of price fluctuations that can adversely impact farmers.
