The head of the Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Agricultural Jihad organization said: The forecasts in the 1402 budget bill are contrary to the expectations that are expected today in the field of employment and exponential production from the agricultural sector.
Hossein Barzegar stated this Friday morning in the presence of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari reporters: These days, when the budget bill 1402 is being considered, as an agricultural expert, it is necessary to raise some issues in this regard, especially in the area of the budget for the agricultural season.
He added: In recent months, we have seen an increase in the exchange rate, as well as a multifold increase in the price of livestock inputs in the world market, which showed itself more than other items with the implementation of the targeted subsidy plan.
The head of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Agricultural Jihad Organization continued: The need to modify the cultivation pattern to improve the self-sufficiency factor in strategic and strategic products, adapt to the limitation of water resources, climate change and finally increase the demand for food after several years, this year was put on the agenda. It seems not possible with drip credits.
Barzegar stated: The forecasts in the 1402 budget bill are contrary to the expectations that are expected today in the field of employment and exponential production from the agricultural sector.
He pointed out that the representatives in the Islamic Council and the planners in the government are expected to make fundamental structural reforms in the budget of the agricultural season, the producer in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry is under the greatest pressure today, and the sustainability of production and the reform of the cultivation pattern require a certain amount of attention.
The head of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Agricultural Jihad organization added: In the 1402 budget, we should have a better partnership with farmers and ranchers as the arms of food supply, otherwise we will see its negative results in terms of food security and resource sustainability.
Barzegar stated: Considering the conditions that happened in the world in the field of food in 2022 and it seems that the challenges in the field of energy and food in 2023 will still remain, the legislators and planners of the country should pay more attention to the agricultural season.
He emphasized: I request the Islamic Council to take a more realistic view of the agricultural sector and make the necessary predictions in the budget bill 1402 according to this view.
