Atalah Hashimi, head of the National Wheat Farmers Foundation, pointing out that wheat cultivation is over, said: “The latest observations from different provinces show that 95 to 96 percent of wheat crop forecasts have been made and there is now a chance to continue cultivation. Not left.

“Although we have no problem with production, if the guaranteed purchase price of wheat is not corrected, the purchase rate will not be higher than this year,” Hashemi said.

The head of the National Wheat Farmers’ Fund declared the country’s minimum wheat demand at 10.5 million tons, adding that, at a rate of 2300 Toman, it is not economically feasible for farmers to buy wheat, so it should be optimistic. 3 Million tonnes of the country’s deficit needs to be met through imports, while guaranteed price adjustments do not require import and exit of foreign exchange resources.

He added: “The global price of wheat is now $280 to $ 290 per tonne, with the real exchange rate for importing 3 million  digits of wheat equivalent to $ 900 million, while one-third of that amount could be $300 million. He bought the needed wheat inside from the farmers.

According to Hashemi, although officials at the Economic Council and the Planning and Budget Organization insist on the current guaranteed purchase rate of wheat due to lack of funding, the question is, where do they fund the wheat imports?
