Having criticized the lack of proper planning in the country in the production and import of soybean meal and oilseeds, the CEO of the Neyshabur Golden Oil Company stated: Unfortunately, last year, the oilseed industry faced an excess import of soybean meal, largely due to barters, which led to irrational prices and damage to the industry and national capital.
Meanwhile, the cargo purchased by importing and manufacturing units faces damage due to currency allocation problems, administrative parallelism, and delays in cargo clearance, as it is difficult to store grain in the weather conditions of ports, and the cargo cleared from the port may be damaged. Therefore, the lack of proper planning in the country, despite large investments, has caused factories to be unable to meet the country’s domestic need for meal and oil, and the possibility of damage to cargo stored in ports also increases.
Pointing out that oil industry activists are complaining about the lack of support and continuing problems, he said: In 2025, a plan has not yet been developed for registering factory orders, and requests still remain without approval.
One of the criticisms of the order registration system is that this system is defined based on import history and no place is given to manufacturers or oil refineries in the country. While manufacturers should be given priority for order registration based on capacity. In addition, no priority has been specified for order registration and only due to sanctions and the current situation, they have given priority to clearing companies, which has negative consequences, because clearing companies have only been assigned to import and have not specified its amount and tonnage. This is while, with this situation, manufacturing and importing companies are not even able to receive goods in the amount of their order registration.
