Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The plan is part of a long-running national effort to enhance food self-sufficiency in Iran. This strategy addresses concerns that while importing crops may appear cheaper, it ignores the cost of vulnerability when sanctions, shipping disruption, or political pressure threatens essential supplies.
