It is about a month now that the food industry is suffering from a severe shortage of vegetable oils, secretary of Iranian Pastry and Chocolate Industry Association said.
Jamshid Maghazei added that biscuit, pastry and chocolate industry need about 300,000-350,000 tons of vegetable oils annually.
"Government Trading Corporation of Iran’s failure to supply on credit the raw material needed by these units will lead to their closure," he was quoted as saying by ILNA on Wednesday.
