In his visit to some agricultural and animal husbandry complexes in Islamshahr on Friday, August 28, the Minister of Jihad said: We will announce the cultivation pattern from the beginning of this fall, and by creating incentives, we will try to make our farmers follow this pattern.

He continued: Observance of the cultivation pattern leads to less water consumption and more income for the farmer.

Of course, these promises were also given by the deputy ministers of this ministry, as “Mohammed Ghorbani” stated in Khabar Network’s Economic Desk program: According to the order of the Minister of Agricultural Jihad, the research organization is compiling the country’s model plan for the new crop year, and the compilation steps have been finalized. And it will be presented in the presence of the minister and after the approval of the minister, it will be communicated to the provinces for implementation.

Ghorbani stated that the cultivation pattern is communicated to the provinces at the beginning of the cropping season, stating that: wheat, barley, corn, canola, lentils, cotton, soybeans and sugar beet are included in the cultivation pattern program and with the two instruments of contract cultivation and price policy. A guarantee will be implemented, as well as the policy of paying the cultivation subsidy as an incentive to the farmers will be paid per kilogram of the product.

* Task of the 6th plan for self-sufficiency of 95% of the path of the cultivation pattern

The cultivation pattern, which was designed 25 years ago but was never implemented, is an issue that the sixth plan law obliges the governments to implement in order to reach 95% self-sufficiency in basic goods, while the farmers are not informed about the cultivation pattern. They are unaware.

This year, the leader of the 20th Shahrivar Revolution emphasized in the general policies of the 7th plan on the cultivation and production of basic goods by modifying the cultivation pattern with regard to water resources.

Implementation of the cultivation model plan for the realization of the seventh development plan in food security

In the notification of the policies of the 7th plan, it is emphasized to modify the cultivation pattern according to the regional advantages and water resources and by giving priority to the production of strategic agricultural goods.

Also, providing food security and producing at least 90% of basic goods and food items inside, along with preserving and promoting genetic reserves and water resources and increasing the level of health and safety of food has also been emphasized by the Supreme Leader.

At the same time, most of the experts are unanimous on this issue that the implementation of the cultivation model plan is the most effective solution for self-sufficiency in agricultural products, according to the experts, if it is implemented, it can prevent a lot of water wastage in the country every year, production from water products It changes towards basic and essential products, and the food security and self-sufficiency factor in agricultural products also increases.

Annually, we import about 30 million tons of agricultural products from abroad, of which 28 million tons are basic goods, and in addition to this figure, we export about 8.5 million tons of agricultural products, of which 3.5 million tons of these 8.5 million tons are are non-essential.

As can be seen in the statistics, the production of water-based products in the country is too much and a new attitude should be adopted in this regard. According to the announcement of the Ministry of Jihad and Agriculture, the waste of water-based products causes the annual waste of 14 billion cubic meters of water, which is the same amount of water. It produced 11 million tons of wheat or 12 million tons of rapeseed oilseeds.

Therefore, it is expected that the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad will implement the plan for the implementation of the cultivation model, which is emphasized in the sixth development plan and the general policies of the seventh plan, and according to the strong agreement it has given to the people, at the beginning of the new crop year, which will begin in two days.
