Exploitation of 1696 agricultural projects in the Fajr
decade of 2021

The head of the ministry's public relations and information
center said, on the occasion of commemorating the Fajr decade of the Islamic
Revolution: Of this amount, 362 are large projects to which 4 thousand and 900
billion tomans have been allocated.

Reza Rezazadeh also added: It is predicted that by
exploiting these projects, 18,800 people will be directly employed, and 37,600
people will be indirectly employed. He then mentioned that: These projects are related to agricultural
sub-sectors such as horticulture, soil and water, and livestock and poultry.

The head of the Public Relations and Information Center of
the Ministry of Jihad-Agriculture also referred to the smartening strategy in
the agricultural sector, and told: According to this strategy, information and
data of all agricultural sub-sectors are integrated and this information is
used to help make decisions.

 He also spoke
about the strategy of food diplomacy and stated that: We have 15 neighboring
countries by water and land, but despite the production capacity, Iran's share
in the table of neighboring countries and the region is only 2%, and this share
should surely increase.

The head of the Public Relations and Information Center of
the Ministry of Jihad-Agriculture also said: Consultations and measures are
being taken to resolve many issues between our country and its neighbors, which
are mostly some superficial concerns, and increase the export of agricultural
products to these countries.
