The government’s plan for next year to allocate foreign exchange for the import of livestock inputs
Dr. Bahman Hajali, Secretary of the Specialized Association of Major Distributors of Livestock, Poultry and Aquatic Inputs of the Country (FIDA)

He referred to the government’s foreign exchange allocation program for imports and said: Over the past years, the private sector, along with the government, has been active in providing livestock and poultry inputs, which constitute a large volume of the country’s imports, and has prevented the shortage of this product in the country. On the other hand, the government has also been taking steps in recent years to provide preferential foreign exchange for the import of livestock inputs, despite all the foreign exchange difficulties and limited resources.
In this regard, this year, in the budget law of 2025, the necessary resources have been provided by the government to provide preferential foreign exchange, and we hope that with the timely provision and allocation of foreign exchange by the Central Bank, there will be no disruption in the supply and import of livestock inputs.
In response to the question of what are the most important challenges facing the country’s livestock and poultry industry and the distribution of inputs, he said: In the supply and distribution of livestock inputs, the most important pillar and demand of poultry farmers, livestock farmers, and private sector organizations is the timely provision and allocation of foreign exchange by the Central Bank and the opening of work in the field of timely import of inputs; because livestock and poultry, as living beings, require proper and daily nutrition in order to have good productivity. Therefore, the greatest demand of the entire livestock and poultry industry and related organizations is the timely provision of foreign exchange and supply of goods.
