In September, Said Saadat, an advisor to the Minister of Agriculture, stated that the Ministry of Agriculture plans to implement the first phase of a program called the "Cultivation Scheme" to improve agricultural production in the country in the new crop year.

Saadat mentioned that implementing this program will help solve important issues for farmers and producers, as well as reduce unplanned and excessive cultivations.

He emphasized the importance of ensuring food security in the country and stated that the Ministry of Agriculture is obligated to ensure 90 percent of food security.

According to him, around 125 million tons of agricultural products were produced in Iran last year, with 80 percent of food products in the country being produced in the agricultural sector.

Noting the need to increase efficiency in the agricultural sector due to limited water resources and the dryness of most of the country, Saadat explained that from the period of 1392 (March 2013 - March 2014) to the present, the efficiency in the agricultural sector increased from 920 grams per cubic meter to 1450 grams per cubic meter, and irrigation efficiency increased from 39 to 45 percent.
