China is not the almond rival of Astana in Iran

Gilan Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization’s deputy for crop production improvement said: Chinese peanuts can not be an opponent for Astana peanuts.

Habib Jahansaz said: Peanut harvest is underway in Gilan and this year the situation of peanuts in Gilan is in good condition.

Gilan Jihad-e-Agriculture Organization’s Deputy for Plant Production Improvement continued: The final amount of peanut production will be announced in the near future.

He said that the uncontrolled import of Chinese peanuts is one of the challenges of this product in the time after harvest and sale of this product, he said: the country’s need for this product, like other agricultural products must be done from official sources, while production Astana peanuts are of the highest quality in the world, and Chinese peanuts can never be an opponent for Astana-Ashrafieh almonds.

Kurka, Noghreh Deh, Bijar Pool, Temchal, Mehdikhani Perkapasht, Khoshkarvandan are among the most important peanut production centers of this city.

Astana Ashrafieh peanut is the most important crop of this city, which is the best type of almond in the country due to its fertile soil (light and quality soil that is the result of Sefidrud sediments).

90% of the country’s peanuts are produced in this city. Of course, in Talesh, Rudbar and Lasht-e-Nasha districts of Rasht, this crop is also cultivated sparsely. 4,000 families cultivate almonds on more than 2,500 hectares of farms in Astana city.

Threshold farmers sell more than 5,000 tons of almonds to the market annually, and the lack of processing industries is one of the most important problems for threshold almond growers.

The quality of peanuts in terms of taste has caused this important product of the city to always be considered by consumers. Astaneh Ashrafieh city is located in the east of Gilan.
