Reduction of wheat production due to spring frost
Dr. Ahmad Qoliyan, the vice president of the People’s Agricultural Development Organization (HACA) stated that based on the information collected from the provinces, the recent spring cold that affected 18 provinces of the country, especially the northwestern provinces of the country, damaged almost 40% of the country’s wheat fields. is
He predicted that the damages will reduce the amount of production in these areas by 10 to 20 percent.
Similarly, Seyyed Mehdi Alia Nasab, representative of people’s agricultural development in East Azarbaijan province, also said about the damages: In the cold regions of the province, we are witnessing frostbite of wheat, which, in addition to causing a delay in the growth of this product, is expected with the transition of the grain period. Classification of this product to the hot and dry period of the year, we will see a decrease in grain weight due to heat stress, based on this, a possible decrease in wheat production efficiency up to 20% is not far from expected.
The prediction of a decrease in wheat production is made by the People’s Agricultural Development Organization (HACA), while some authorities involved in wheat pricing are talking about the prediction of an increase in wheat production this year without providing reliable statistics and information!
Although it is possible that the declaration of opinion regarding the increase in production by these institutions is mostly done to create space and resist against the fairness of wheat price. But presenting this type of unreliable statistics can make the country face a grain shortage crisis.
Considering the significant distance between the production and consumption of wheat in the country, it is expected that the authorities and the Pricing Council will take a step towards self-sufficiency, food security and the public interests of the country by setting a higher price than foreign wheat to the domestic product.
