In a major transformation in the country's agricultural industry, the Vice President of the Parliament announced that the specialized garlic town will be operational within two months. This news heralds the end of raw export and the beginning of specialized processing of this strategic product in the country.
Need to Complete the Value Chain
Given Hamadan's geographical location and suitable climate for garlic cultivation, this town could become a hub for garlic production and processing in Iran. The Vice President of the Parliament stated: "Completing the value chain in garlic is of special importance, and we must strive to ensure that this product is not exported only in its raw form. In fact, we need to think about creating added value and job creation in this sector."
Transformation in the Agricultural Industry
This initiative signifies a fundamental change in the country's agricultural approach. With the establishment of this specialized town, farmers will have access to the latest cultivation and processing techniques and can benefit from them. The Vice President of the Parliament also pointed out that this project could help increase the export of Iranian garlic and enhance the country's presence in global markets.
Considering the importance of garlic as a strategic product, this town can serve as a model for other agricultural products as well. Therefore, the opening of this town is not only a step towards economic development but can also contribute to environmental preservation and improving the quality of life for farmers.
