1,600 billion tomans of profit from unauthorized clearance of corn in Iran

A letter from Iran's Ministry of Jihad Agriculture has been written to customs regarding the unauthorized clearance of 81,000 tons of corn between June and August of this year. The article highlights a 2009 Cabinet decision that mandates all livestock inputs, including corn, barley, and soybeans, to be cleared with the necessary permits. However, customs have stated that a company involved in fructose production has obtained the necessary licenses and declared that the corn was only for the company's consumption. The article also points out a potential conflict between the customs and the Ministry of Jihad Agriculture, questioning the lack of communication between them and raising concerns about the possible sale of the corn in the open market, which could lead to significant profits and negative economic impacts due to the high price difference in the free market. The article calls for transparency and further investigation into the situation by customs and other relevant agencies.
