Iran, France to Expand Agricultural Ties
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iran and France have agreed to promote cooperation in different agricultural fields, an Iranian deputy agriculture minister said.
Abbas Keshavarz said on Wednesday that under new cooperation documents, Iran will get advantage of France's experience in various fields of agriculture.
"The administration has diverse plans to produce the necessary and more enriched crops and will use France's experience in this area," the Iranian official noted.
Back in 2014, Iran's Agriculture Minister Mahmoud Hojjati said his ministry has put the attraction of foreign investment top on the agenda in a bid to stimulate the country’s agricultural growth.
"Having signed a law to support and encourage foreign investors and present investment opportunities for the agricultural sector, the Islamic Republic of Iran's administration has prepared the ground for the inflow of foreign investors," Hojjati said in a meeting with a group of agricultural industry owners coming from France in May 2014.
