Oct 10

At the new crop-year ceremony in Karaj, Pezeshkian urges sustainable food security, productivity, lower costs and less reliance on imported strategic inputs through agricultural science, universities, research and modern technologies including AI. His opening excerpt calls for a legacy of sustainable land, water and soil. Yusef Salami's full package includes farmers' experiences, the president's practical farm-to-table argument and honors for agricultural achievers. Nouri forecasts a favorable farming year, praises producers and says 95% of wheat farmers' dues have been paid, with about 20 trillion tomans still outstanding and payment hoped for in coming days. Selected farmers describe domestic production under sanctions. Their claims and forecasts remain attributed.

At a national ceremony in Karaj marking the new farming year, Pezeshkian calls for sustainable food security and improved productivity through agricultural science, research, university links and practical modern technology. IRINN also reports honors for agricultural achievers and Nouri's farming outlook and qualified wheat-payment update. This is the ceremony and its connected remarks, not completed achievement of the policy goals.
