25% of Agro Machinery Overhauled Since 2013

Between 25% and 30% of Iran’s agricultural machinery have been renewed or renovated since the beginning of Hassan Rouhani’s presidency in August 2013, according to an official with the Ministry of Agriculture. “Thanks to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, last year, renowned brands of rice planting machinery, heavy tractors, combines and orchard tractors have been imported,” Kambiz Abbasi was also quoted as saying by IRNA. The official added that most of the imports came from Germany, Italy, France, South Korea and Japan. JCPOA is the official name for the historic nuclear deal Iran signed with world powers in 2015, which led to the removal of sanctions against the country in exchange for Tehran limiting the scope of its nuclear program.
