Laboratory Discrepancies and Claims in Grain Trade

In the current situation, wheat is still supplied at a rate of 28,500 Tomans, which will definitely cause certain problems. For example, traditional livestock farmers are moving towards consuming wheat for their livestock feed, and wheat that has entered the country with government currency enters the livestock feed cycle.

Accordingly, flour will also definitely face the phenomenon of smuggling. This issue has existed before, but due to the cheaper price of inputs, its severity was less, whereas now, with the increase in input prices, this issue will intensify. As a result, the 28,500 Toman currency is practically entering an unfair and untargeted cycle again.

Previously, due to the preferential allocation of foreign exchange to inputs, the price of milk produced in Iran was low. Therefore, a large part of the milk produced in the country’s factories was converted into powdered milk and exported. But under the new conditions, this advantage has practically disappeared. As a result, the export of powdered milk will no longer be possible, because the price of domestic milk will increase.

According to statistics, around $1.4 million worth of milk powder was exported to Iraq, but with the current situation, this figure will no longer be achieved. Production costs will definitely increase, and even exporting chicken will no longer be possible.
