Rice planting in southern Sistan and Baluchestan should be investigated
The governor of Sistan and Baluchestan in the working group of water, natural resources and agriculture in Qasr Ghand city, issued an order to plant rice in the region and whether it is cost-effective for the farmer due to the difficulty of water supply.
Ali Ausat Hashemi in this meeting, which was held in the presence of the governors of the southern cities of the province and a number of provincial managers in Qasr Ghand governorship, added: Be specified above.
The governor further stated: Due to the outbreak of bird flu in several provinces of the country, but in Sistan and Baluchestan, while promoting health and protection of people’s capital against bird flu, the self-reliance coefficient of white meat production increased three times more than before.
Hashemi said: Considering the importance of dependence of about 20 to 25 percent of agriculture in Qasr Ghand city on aqueduct water and the location of this city on 22 aqueducts, the limits of ownership, number of aqueducts and issuance of licenses should be reviewed to protect people’s capital and help revitalize. An aqueduct is necessary.
He pointed out: The plan for sustainable development of greenhouses has been seriously emphasized and with the aim of gaining field awareness, greenhouse sites close to the climatic conditions of the province should be visited.
Hashemi said: In the recent visit of Dr. Nobakht and the Minister of Energy to the province, 1,800 billion tomans were allocated for the two parts of the province’s water and electricity, and in a meeting on Tuesday next week with the deputies of the Ministry of Energy A decision will be made.
He added: 25% of drinking water efficiency in Chabahar city is not acceptable, so in order to reach the national index, proposals should be prepared for the plan in a meeting with the deputy ministers of energy.
Hashemi noted that the creation of 100,000 hectares of pressurized irrigation in the south of the province is a major movement and, based on today’s findings, is the source of change in the household economy that contributes to strategic production.
The governor said: By changing the attitude, aim to change the cultivation pattern by exporting crops with high water consumption and harmful ones with the approach of making agriculture economical, because when we have a water crisis, farmers should also pay attention to this issue to make it a problem. Do not be social.
He added: The need for a serious review of the allocation and how to provide water resources is serious, so if we do not set the right goals in the near future, we will face an acute problem of water shortages and the collapse of the agricultural economy.
Hashemi stated: I have been studying deep water in the province since January 2013. Fortunately, with the increase in the number of study groups from 3 to 21 groups, the reduction of study time and the allocation of 25 billion tomans, the government of prudence and hope indicates the importance of this issue.
Providing agricultural infrastructure, such as access to farms, is a serious need of farmers so that farmers do not have to worry, he said.
