Iranian President Hassan Rouhani inaugurated several agricultural projects related to pressurized irrigation systems, fish and shrimp breeding plants in various provinces.
Other projects encompass initiatives related to boosting irrigation efficiency, water consumption management, organization of fishing ports, and several dairy production units, IRNA reported.
The projects are going to generate employment opportunities for more than 40,000 people, according to the government.
Situated in a dry plateau with limited water resources, Iran’s development projects in the farming sector have been focused on optimal water consumption and efficient irrigation methods.
