1.8m Tons of Animal Feed Raw Materials Imported in 2 Months

More than 1.8 million tons of imported raw materials used in animal feed production were distributed among producers during the first two months of the current Iranian year (March 20-May 20), according to the CEO of State Livestock Affairs Logistics Company affiliated with Agriculture Ministry.
“Though domestic demand for animal feed over the period stood at 2.2 million tons, slow transportation prevented the efficient supply to the market. Until last month, between 10,000 tons and 15,000 tons of feed were transported to provinces across the country per day, but we have quickened the procedures and now some 40,000 tons are transported per day,” Hassan Abbasi Maroufan was also quoted as saying by IRNA.
