The head of Iran’s Plant Protection Organization announced on Monday that the export of the country’s agricultural products, especially kiwi, has captured the Indian and Eurasian markets.
Maryam Jalili-Moqaddam said at a specialized phytosanitary meeting in the northern city of Sari, Mazandaran Province, that the import of agricultural pesticides is completely under the supervision of her organization, and the agricultural products of the province, especially kiwi, are easily exported to international markets, including India and Eurasian countries, due to compliance with traceability requirements and pollutant monitoring.
Stressing that the import of agricultural pesticides is completely under the aegis of the Plant Protection Organization, Jalili-Moqaddam added, “A clear example is the increase in exports of Mazandaran’s kiwi to India.”
According to the official, the restrictions on the export of Mazandaran’s agricultural products such as kiwi and citrus have been removed, and kiwi is easily exported to Eurasian countries, India, and China.
