The kiwi export season in Astara is approaching, but farmers in the region are facing serious problems. The lack of storage, absence of loading docks, and hinterland restrictions are challenges that, if not resolved quickly, could seriously harm the export of this product.
Lack of Storage and Loading Docks; Serious Obstacles to Export
Astara farmers who have been active in this field for years are deeply concerned about the current situation. They know that time is very limited for starting the export of high-quality kiwis, and with each passing day, the likelihood of damage to the product and a decline in its quality increases. The lack of storage means an inability to store fresh products ready for export, which could quickly turn into a major crisis.
Moreover, the absence of loading docks has made it difficult for farmers to easily transport their goods to their destinations. This situation not only harms the farmers but could also negatively impact the kiwi market at the national level. Farmers are calling for more attention from officials to these problems and for their immediate resolution so that they can export their kiwis to domestic and foreign markets during this fruitful season.
Immediate Action is Necessary
Experience has shown that neglecting export obstacles can harm the local economy and farmers. They want local and government officials to address the current situation before the export season begins and provide the necessary solutions to facilitate hassle-free exports.
Ultimately, the farmers of Astara hope that with the cooperation of all relevant entities, the existing obstacles will be removed and the kiwi export season will begin successfully and without concerns. This issue will not only benefit the farmers but will also contribute to the economic prosperity of the region.
