The Deputy Minister of Planning and Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad said: The cultivation pattern for 15 basic crops requires 72 tons of financial resources and 60 tons of facilities.

According to Mehr reporter, this year due to the improvement of production in the agricultural sector and the reduction of damages due to pest control, it seems that we are facing a surplus of production, while the prices of products have increased a lot. At present, the dumps of the retailers of these agricultural products in the cities at the end of the night seem like a large amount of water and soil are being poured into the mechanized garbage bins. This year's olive production increased by 110% and its price increased by the same amount. In the press conference of the Vice President of Planning and Economic Affairs of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad, Shahpour Alaei Moghadam, Vice President of Planning and Economic Affairs, in response to Mehr's question about the priority of the Vice President of Planning and Economic Affairs for the next year, said: the cultivation pattern is the first priority of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad Is. In this regard, everyone gives a definition of the cultivation pattern, but this cultivation method in simple language means what to plant, where to plant and how much to plant?

He added: What is certain is that the implementation of the cultivation model requires support, requirements and planning.

He continued: "There is a missing link in the agricultural sector that one year we are facing a shortage of crops and another year there was a surplus."

Alaie Moghadam stated that one should move with a plan, strategy and process, stating: No seed should fall into the ground unless its owner is ready. This matter is important in the countries of the world and it is generally not lost at the end of the product chain to whom it is given.

The vice president of economic and planning stated: One of the solutions is to implement the cultivation model. The cultivated areas should be regulated and in which province what crop should be cultivated and to what extent.

Responsibility of other government institutions

Alaie Moghadam continued to answer Mehr's question and stated: These words were raised many times between the representative of the House of the Nation and the Program and Budget Organization. When the products increase, we have to manage with guaranteed purchase, and its implementation requires financial resources.

He said: About 132 hemats (one thousand billion tomans) are needed to make the cultivation model operational. We have been trying to implement the cultivation model for 50 years; Not done because the attractiveness and incentives have not been determined.

Ala'i Moghadam emphasized: the cultivation pattern for 15 basic crops requires 72 tons of auxiliary financial resources and 60 tons in the facilities sector.

He stated that whenever the production of a product increases, they come to the Ministry of Jihad and Agriculture, and clarified: production in the current difficult conditions needs encouragement for the purchase and market demand, the position of the Trade Development Organization, Technology Industries, the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade and … where is it?

At the end, Alaie Moghadam stated: The most logical solution to reduce the evasion of products is to purchase guaranteed products and they should be marketed and exported. In the field of laws and regulations, it should be facilitated and obstacles should be reduced so that we don't see the burial of agricultural products.
