He expressed hope that the price of first-class Iranian rice will decrease further in the coming days and reach less than 100 thousand tomans per kilo.

Saying that these prices are related to first-class rice, Hosni clarified: the price of Iranian rice with lower quality is available in the market from 70 to 110 thousand tomans per kilo.

* Two factors that reduced the price of rice

He answered that what is the reason for the decrease in the price of rice? He said: Two factors have contributed to the decrease in the price of rice, firstly, the rice harvest will begin soon and it is expected that we will have a 30% increase in production compared to last year, and this will psychologically affect the prices.

He pointed to the second reason and said: This year, the government has released the import of rice, which was prohibited for 5 months of the year, and this has become a factor in reducing the price.

According to this official, due to the large difference between the price of foreign and Iranian rice, there was no longer a ban on local imports from Arabs, and for this reason, the government decided to lift the ban of previous years.
