“Informant” visit to the fruit and vegetable market is a spark to reduce prices in the market

According to Fars News Agency, the price of fruit was very high this year and despite repeated promises made by officials to reduce prices, it was never fulfilled, even in the summer, which is the peak season for fruit supply, was not effective in reducing prices.

The sharp rise in fruit prices, which according to statistics sometimes increased by 300 to 500 percent from the farm to the market, caused dissatisfaction among the people and mainly the lower middle class of society who could not afford to buy.

Criticism was growing at a time when the country’s situation in fruit production is excellent. According to FAO statistics, Iran ranks first to fifteenth in the world in the production of agricultural, crop and horticultural products in 68 agricultural products. Has. The per capita fruit production in the world is 80 kg and this figure reaches 200 kg in our country. Also, in different years, Iran ranks eighth to tenth in the world in fruit production and according to the Ministry of Jihad Agriculture, these products are exported to 100 countries.

Today, the information base of the Ministry of Jihad for Agriculture wrote: The first vice president paid a surprise visit to Azadi Fruit and Vegetable Market. Mohammad Mokhberzaman had a cordial conversation with the people and was closely informed about their demands, criticisms and suggestions.

The First Vice President also briefed the officials of Azadi Fruit and Vegetable Market on the work process of different parts of the complex and emphasized on distributing the necessities of the people at a reasonable price.

It is hoped that this visit and the sense of people’s problems will motivate the officials to meet the challenges in this area and we will see a decrease in prices in the market in the coming months.
