The foreign trade secretary of Iran’s state-owned trading company announced a guarantee of about five million tonnes of wheat from 31 provinces of the country, saying that although the guaranteed purchase volume has fallen by about eight percent over the same period last year, there was no concern about the existence And certainly the guaranteed wheat purchases will be as high as last year.

Hassan Abbasi famously said that since the beginning of the harvest season, about five million tons of this strategic product has been purchased from farmers, which has valued at 8,500 billion tomans, and so far we have paid 7,200 billion tomans to 89 percent of the claims.

He said that last year, at the same time, we bought five million and 400 thousand tons of wheat from farmers, although the guaranteed wheat purchases were eight percent lower than last year, but given that the peak of guaranteed wheat purchases are done in Tir and Mordad months, we hope that this partial reduction will be offset, and wheat purchasing may even be more than last year and will reach about 10 million tons, but surely wheat purchasing will be as high as last year.

The deputy foreign minister of Iran’s state-owned commerce said about the reasons for the relative decline in wheat purchase: the flood in productive provinces such as Gorgan, Gonbad, Khuzestan and … destroyed part of the wheat, and on the other hand, farmers might have some of this product for Take some fir them themselves.

“Another reason that may have reduced the government’s wheat supply is that this year, for the first time, factories and industries were allowed to buy wheat from farmers, which, despite the introduction of a system to They are not some of the up-to-date industries, which is why there are no accurate statistics on their purchases.

He said that farmers are advised to deliver wheat to permanent silos to receive the transport fares, said: “Given the constant observation and the daily amount of wheat we buy, the quality of wheat this year is 1.2% in terms of gluten, Protein and lack of hygiene are higher than last year, and therefore, quantitatively and qualitatively, there are no concerns about the guarantee of wheat purchasing and the provision of this strategic product to the country.
