Iran has indefinitely banned the export of potatoes, onions, tomatoes and eggplant.
In a letter sent by the Iranian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Jihad Abbas Askarzadeh to the Iranian Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance and Director General of the Islamic Republic of Iran Customs Administration (IRICA) Alireza Moghaddasi on April 17, it said: “As a result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, a number of incidents have taken place in world markets, and the demand for some agricultural products in world markets has increased.”
At the same time, import duties on agricultural products in neighboring countries have also been reduced. In addition, there is a need to regulate prices in the domestic market of Iran.
