IRAN

With investments in recent years, product development, packaging and marketing activities in Iran, the country of Agriculture, have led to the emergence of a new export market. In Iran, rich in climate and soil diversity, agricultural production is usually made in fertile lands in the north and west of the country. Agriculture is carried out in a narrow coastal strip in the northern part of the country without irrigation. In the South, dates are cultivated through irrigation Channels. Major agricultural products include rice, wheat, barley, wheat, corn, sugarcane, sugar beet, citrus, dates, peanuts, Apple grapes, cotton and onions. The production of red and white meat, honey and dairy sector is developing. Mostly sheep are fed in the livestock sector, which has an important place in the country’s economy. Generally, livestock is carried out in high places in the mountains. The wool of the Fed animals is very valuable. Besides, cattle are also fed. In addition, sturgeon and caviar are produced in the Caspian Sea.

The Iranian economy is based on oil. Oil was found by foreigners in the country and was nationalized in 1951. This structure is intended to be broken and diversified industrial production. Industrial sector consists of petroleum, fertilizers, sodium hydroxide, cement, textiles, steel and construction materials. In addition, food processing and metal processing sectors are composed of carpet and jewellery sectors.

Iran is the largest steel sector in the Middle East. For years, the automotive industry has been protected from external competition with high taxes and quotas. In recent years, with the joint efforts of European and Asian foreign enterprises, they have penetrated the Iranian market and established Assembly facilities as well as production.

In addition to oil and natural gas, which are the main sources of Iranian economy, zinc, iron, uranium, copper, manganese, chromite, lead, coal and gold are also extracted. The Iranian mining industry gained even more importance after the 1960s with the discovery of new reserves. It has the world’s largest zinc and the second largest copper reserves.

Iran is a country with 10.5% of the world’s oil reserves. It also has the third largest crude oil reserve in the world. Iran has 9 refineries with a daily capacity of 1.9 million barrels. Development and modernization are required for crude oil reserves in the south of the country and in the Persian Gulf. More than half of Iran’s energy consumption is natural gas. After the necessary investments and the development of the reserves, Iran will be a full natural gas exporter.

The large-scale factories that were founded in the 1920s were significantly damaged by the war. In recent years, small-scale factories have started to be established alongside large factories that have started to be produced. In this way, the dependence on imports has been reduced. In Iran, which produces petroleum products, automobiles, electrical appliances, telecommunications products, cement and industrial machinery are manufactured. In addition, processed food, plastic products, pharmaceuticals, leather products and paper products are produced.
