It is one of the most important industries in the world; Even if all the media and officials focus on other industries, from automotive to oil and petrochemical, from atomic to space, from textile to wood and steel and financial markets. The food industry is not an industry related to the economy of a country, but an important part of health, treatment, social health in both physical and mental dimensions, security and even social satisfaction.

From this point of view, it should be said that the importance of the food industry and industries converging with it, including agriculture, horticulture, and animal husbandry, especially in the last few years when international tensions have reached their maximum and in some cases even led to direct or proxy military wars, are more than has passed Looking at the negative effects of the war between Russia and Ukraine and its role in the food security of Europe and other countries, we can understand this very well.

According to the statistics of the World Bank, in this year the price of all kinds of food increased with an unprecedented growth in many items, even up to nearly 50%. The existence of products such as wheat with a growth of more than 35%, meat with a nearly 50% price increase and tea with a price increase of about 25%, inflation in this list and an average increase in food prices of 18% this year (49% growth in the last two years). It shows how much the global market is demanding new products, with superior quality and at a more reasonable price; The opportunity that can transform the economy of countries like Iran, which have (at least) a civilizational background and high capacity in the agriculture and animal husbandry sector.

In the meantime, of course, one should not enter the market in a hurry, especially since each country has unique agricultural capacities and advantages, and if it enters the competition without paying attention to water resources and climatic potential and without a clear strategy, it will not only not achieve significant success, but also use its resources. will also lose; This matter is of much higher importance for a country like Iran, which is considered a hot and dry land under normal conditions and faces the problem of water scarcity.

However, Iran is one of the most diverse climates in the world in terms of horticultural products, and all kinds of citrus fruits with all kinds of tastes can be produced in this country, and on the other hand, Iran has a high capacity in many agricultural products, especially in rainfed cultivation. Improvement of the packaging industry, rational distribution of products according to the target market, superior quality and mass production according to global conditions are other things that should be paid attention to; Along with all these cases, the expansion of economic diplomacy should not be neglected.
