Parl-gov’t collaboration helps resolve agricultural issues: President
Speaking in a meeting with the members of the Agriculture, Water, Natural Resources and Environment Committee of the Parliament on Wednesday evening, Pezeshkian noted that the improper implementation of the Vision 2025 plan and macro-policies of the country is among the reasons for failing in achieving the goals in this area, according to president.ir.
The main problems of agriculture, water, natural resources and environment at the national and regional levels were discussed in the meeting.
Efforts to modify the management of existing water resources, planning to prevent power outages of agricultural wells in the next crop year, allocating adequate resources for the guaranteed purchase of agricultural products (particularly wheat) in the next year, were among the issues raised by the lawmakers.
Appropriate distribution of agricultural inputs at a reasonable price, paying more attention to healthy cultivation considering its importance in promoting public health, watchful monitoring of the performance of the Farm Product Pricing Council as well as more attention to the environment along with increasing the share of the agricultural sector from budget resources and bank facilities were other issues discussed in the meeting.
President Pezeshkian has unveiled his cabinet nominees in a list presented to the Iranian Parliament for approval as Gholamreza Nouri-Qezeljeh is proposed for the Agriculture Ministry.
Nouri-Qezeljeh, a representative from Bostanabad in the Iranian Parliament, holds a Master’s degree in Agricultural Engineering and is pursuing a PhD in Agricultural Policy and Development.
The Iranian Parliament’s specialized committees completed deliberations on Pezeshkian’s cabinet lineup on Wednesday after four days of discussions.
The proposed ministers are also slated to be discussed in the Parliament’s plenary sessions as of August 17. Pezeshkian was elected as the new Iranian president in a runoff election on July 5 after late president Ebrahim Raisi lost his life in a tragic helicopter crash in May.
