Explore Iran and its 2500-Year-Long Culture Travel to IRAN. Persia, the Land of four seasons with its rich and colourful history, countless monuments, Iranian hospitality and delicious food. Iran is one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and has been among the world’s most thoughtful and complex civilizations from the very beginning. There are aspects of Iranian civilization that, in one way or another, have touched almost every human being on the planet. But the story of how that happened, and the full significance of those influences, is often unknown and forgotten.
Climates and opportunities
The wide range of temperature fluctuation in different parts of the country and the multiplicity of climatic zones make it possible to cultivate a diverse variety of crops, including cereals (wheat, barley, rice, and maize (corn)), fruits (dates, figs, pomegranates, melons, and grapes), vegetables, cotton, sugar beets, sugarcane and pistachios (World’s largest producer with 40% of the world’s output in 2005), nuts, olives, spices e.g. saffron (world’s largest producer with 81% of the world’s total output),[citation needed] raisin (world’s third largest producer & second largest exporter), tea, tobacco, berberis (world’s largest producer) and medicinal herbs. More than 2,000 plant species are grown in Iran; only 100 of which are being used in pharmaceutical industries. The land covered by Iran’s natural flora is four times that of Europe.
Wheat, rice, and barley are the country’s major crops. The Iranian grain sector is highly regulated. Producers receive subsidised access to input costs such as fertiliser and pesticides, as well as a guaranteed support price for their crops.
Rice: Iran’s total rice production stands at 2.2 million tons per annum whereas annual consumption is about three million tons (2008). Iran has imported about 630,000 tons of rice from UAE, Pakistan and Uruguay worth $271 million in 2008 and 1.4 million tons of rice, worth $800 million in 2009. Iran’s rice imports drop by 40% in 2010. Iran has 3,800 rice milling units (2009). The average per capita consumption of rice in Iran is 45.5 kg, which makes Iranians the 13th biggest rice consumers. Rice is mostly produced in northern Iran. Rice has been cultivated for many years in Mazandaran and Gilan Province of Iran. In Northern Province, many indica rice cultivars including Tarom, Gerdeh, Hashemi, Hasani, Neda and Gharib have been bred by farmers.
Pistachio: Iran ranks as the world’s largest pistachio producer and exporter followed by USA and Turkey. After oil and carpets, pistachios are Iran’s biggest exports: about 200,000 tons for $840 million in 2008.[25] More than 350,000 people earn a living from the nut, most of them in vast groves of the desert oases in southeast.[8][26] Iran’s share in the global pistachio market reached 50 percent in 2010.
Sugar: In 2008, Iran had a shortage of 400,000 tons to 600,000 tons of sugar nationwide. Sugar companies suffered from massive imports of cheap sugar over the past few years, which led to a 50% drop in the capacity of the sugar industry’s production in 2008. The lack of import tariffs was the main reason for the domestic sugar industry suffering in this manner.
tomato: Iran and specialy hyrcan company have larg export of tomato to russia, iraq
Tea: Tea production rose to 190,000 tons in 2007 from 130,000 tons in 2004. 75,000 tons of tea is smuggled into Iran each year (2008).
Fruits: Iran exported more than 35,000 tons of citrus fruits valued at $20.8 million to 36 countries in 2008. Iran is among the largest producers of berries and stone fruits in the world, especially pomegranates, dates, figs and cherries
Saffron: Saffron is cultivated in many regions of the country, the provinces of North Khorasan, Khorasan Razavi and South Khorasan in the northeast have the highest production share. Iran’s saffron is exported to the United Arab Emirates, Spain, Japan, Turkmenistan, France, Italy and the US. The northeastern Khorasan Razavi province exported 57 tons of saffron worth $156.5 million to 41 countries in 2010. The high production cost comes from the exhaustive process of extracting the stamens from the flower and the number of flowers necessary to produce small amounts of spice but the process is in the process of being automated now. Iran is the largest producer of saffron with 93.7% of the world’s total production.

The scope of the effects of a war on the table of the people of the worldThese figures well show the impact of these two countries in the global market of agricultural products and food. The military conflict between the two countries has not only reduced the export of these products, but also put more pressure on the world market due to the imposition of sanctions by Russia on European countries and the United States.
