🎦 20% increase in rice production with the implementation of a model farm.
Gol Mohammadi, head of the Organization for Agricultural Research, Education and Promotion:
🔹 This year the master farm plan for rice, corn and cotton was implemented with 540 leading farmers.
Regarding rice, we had 152 farms in two northern provinces and the initial assessment showed that the yield of small farmers increased by 20%.
This year, this project was carried out for wheat, barley, rapeseed, oilseeds and autumn beets, and the goal is to reach 2,000 leading farmers and then 40,000 farms.
