In today's world, the importance of producing organic and healthy products has become one of the main focuses of agricultural discussions. The head of the Medicinal Plants, Saffron, and Food Products Union of Iran, emphasizing the necessity of cultural development in this area, examined various aspects of developing contract farming and organic production of medicinal plants.
Improving Health and Exports through Contract Farming
He stated: "The development of contract farming not only helps improve community health but can also significantly increase the export value of products such as saffron, rose petals, and other medicinal plants from Iran." This approach allows farmers to move towards producing high-quality and organic products with the necessary training.
The head of the union also pointed out the challenges present in the contract farming process. He believes that for success in this area, there is a need for cooperation and synergy among all stakeholders. From farmers to the government and relevant organizations, all must take steps towards cultural development and educating farmers.
The Role of Medicinal Plants in the National Economy
The development of contract farming not only contributes to improving community health but can also be considered one of the main pillars of Iran's national economy. With the increase in quality and standards of products, the export of medicinal plants and saffron from Iran to global markets can grow significantly. This will not only lead to an increase in national income but will also enhance Iran's position in international markets.
Ultimately, the head of the Medicinal Plants Union emphasized that to achieve these goals, cultural development among farmers and consumers must be addressed. Only in this way can we hope for a bright and healthy future in the production and consumption of organic products.
