A glance at the challenges of trading livestock inputs in the country

He considered one of the problems in grain trade to be the lack of proper distribution of import quotas and said: If the import quotas are allocated properly and controlled, and from the next harvest season, the quotas of companies that have not yet imported will be reduced, we will not face the problem of sudden evacuation of the market.

In this situation, clearing companies should import a large volume of inputs into the country at once. In fact, this issue makes the cargo stay in the ports for a while and heavy demurrages are paid for the cargo to enter the market. Also, due to the large volume of inputs that we want to import from the Brazilian and Russian markets, their businessmen may take advantage of this condition and our urgent need.

He added: It is suggested that quotas be allocated in a regular and controlled manner and if the merchant fails to import, another merchant will be replaced and the quota of merchants who regularly import will be increased and vice versa, so that we no longer have these problems in the market. Also, considering the heavy costs of demurrage in the northern and southern ports, it is suggested to strengthen the equipment of the ports. For example, the cost of demurrage in northern ships is 4,000 to 5,000 dollars per day, and this rate is 20,000 dollars in southern ships, so this figure imposes a high demurrage cost on the country in the high tonnage of the ship.
