Hashemi announced the continuation of wheat cultivation in the tropical strip and said: “Until the end of the cultivation season, accurate statistics of the area under cultivation cannot be announced.

Atalah Hashemi, head of the National Wheat Farmers Foundation, in an interview with Industry, Commerce and Agriculture reporter for the Young Journalists Club, commented on the latest follow-up to the reform of the guaranteed wheat purchase rate: The judiciary has so far had no promising news of a guaranteed wheat purchase rate correction.

He pointed out that the guaranteed purchase price of wheat is still 2 thousand tomans, adding: Given the stability of the guaranteed purchase price and the decrease in the area under cultivation in the northwest provinces, tropical provinces to some extent cultivated is expected. The decrease in the cultivated area of ​​the colder provinces will be partially offset.

Referring to wheat cultivation in the tropics until January 2, Hashemi said: “Until the end of the season, accurate statistics of the cultivated area cannot be announced in the new crop year, but it is expected, however, that Reach an acceptable level.

The head of the National Wheat Farmers Foundation, pointing out that precise statistics on the current level of wheat cultivation is not available, added: “Given that the current guaranteed purchase price of wheat does not meet production costs, it is expected, however, that following the follow-up. Guaranteed wheat purchase rates will be adjusted to give farmers hope for the future of production.

According to him, by adjusting the guaranteed purchase rate and compensating for the decline in cultivation levels in the northwestern provinces, a cold-weather strip is projected to continue wheat self-sufficiency, though we no longer need imports.

According to the head of the National Wheat Farmers Foundation, about 3.5 million tonnes of wheat were produced in the country this year, according to statistics, about 1.2 million tonnes of wheat have been handed over to the government.

Hashemi continued: This year some of the wheat was bought by the private sector and used by the self-reliant sector and about 2 million tons of wheat are out of the guaranteed purchase cycle and in farmers’ warehouses.

Finally, the official pointed out that we do not need to import wheat, saying: About 5-6 days ago, in a letter to the President, we announced to the President that the country’s deficit in domestic production could be met.
