Iran is one of the first countries in the world in which agriculture has begun. Archaeological discoveries in Khuzestan region prove that history of Iran agriculture dated back to about 7000 years ago.
Agriculture is one of the most pillars of Iranian society and agricultural history has become tangled with socio-political history of Iran. In all Iranian socio-political events one can see footsteps of agricultural pillars.
Even today that it seems oil and gas are the main sources of the country’s income and revenue once again agricultural products play an important role in the country’s future. Despite unequal distribution of fertilized soil, water shortages, inaccessibility to latest and modern technologies, Iran has managed to obtain many top places in the world agriculture.
