Production of more than 2 tons of onions in Iran

Ali Khan Mohammadi, CEO of the National Assembly of Agricultural Elites, said in a press conference that one of the honors of our country is the production of onions seeds: In our country, there are people who are in production with all their efforts and the least facilities and operate a resistance economy.

He pointed out that the onions seed potency in our country is 98%, adding: This is while the best potency in the world for seed production is 94 to 95%.

Khan Mohammadi continued: One of the goals of the National Assembly of Agricultural Experts is to implement the findings of exemplary farmers in other farms, so special attention should be paid to these issues. As if the previous Minister of Jihad did not have the right view of the exemplary farmers, now we would have to import 80 tons of onions seeds, for which a considerable amount of currency would have to leave the country.

The CEO of the National Assembly of Agricultural Elites, emphasizing the full support of the agricultural sector in the current situation of sanctions, said: Considering that the exemplary farmer has the title of onions seed in the world, so the knowledge of these exemplary farmers should be spread in the country. Last year, the onions seed farmer did not have any greenery at all, which indicates the use of more labor to produce quality seeds.

Pointing out that there is no possibility of mechanized production of onions seeds, he said: Accordingly, labor and rural labor should be used in onion fields, because the production of onions seeds creates about one thousand to one thousand and 600 people, which is a typical farmer. onions continues to produce without a loan of Rials. Despite the release of insurance, measures are expected to be taken because it is not possible to pay 30% of insurance based on salary.

Ayub Abedi, a member of the National Assembly of Agricultural Elites and a sample of North Khorasan onion seeds, continued the meeting: In the first eight months of this year, more than 12,000 workers have been employed.

He added: The sample farmer of onion seed seeds, which the Ministry of Jihad has dubbed onion seeds, has produced more than 2 tons of onion seeds and 171 tons of onions in more than 80 hectares.

Criticizing the high interest rates on facilities in the agricultural sector, Abedi said: In France, facilities pay with an interest rate of 1.6 percent, while in our country, the facility rate is 18 and 20 percent, which is not in line with farmers’ incomes.

A member of the Association of Agricultural Elites continued: Although several countries have asked us for seeds, I will not betray this to the soil and water of the country.

The farmer, who is an example of onion seed, continued: We ask the Minister of Jihad for Agriculture to look at the agricultural sector as supportive, because the low prices of wheat and canola do not meet the production costs.

In the end, he said that most of the onion seeds are planted by hand, adding: Although we have applied to New Holland several times, but unfortunately the method of handing over the tractor is in terms of hectares.
