The Deputy Minister of Agriculture in Iran, Alireza Mohajer, has outlined a strategy to increase the country's barley production and reduce imports, which are currently at 1.5 million tons. The plan includes a 10-15% increase in production efficiency in dry fields through the cultivation of crops like wheat, barley, oilseeds, and legumes. These oilseeds will be used for fodder. The plan, implemented on 4.2 million hectares of rainfed fields, is a collaboration with the executive headquarters of Farman Imam, and farmers will receive aid and training. Iran has 8.5 million hectares of rainfed land.
