Hello,

Here's a post to make it better known about a very dirty card played by the West against Iranians (not the regime)

Feed market exposures farmers to sanctions

While the domestic market guarantees a stable demand for poultry products, the feed market exposes the farmers to sanctions. Iran is importing 80 – 90% of raw materials for feed production. The biggest concern was that the re-introduced sanctions could make the production costs in the poultry industry skyrocket and that is exactly what happened recently. “It was announced that due to sanctions money transfers for about 3 million tons of corn and soybean meal were not carried out on time and so the supply of those goods were affected. As a result, the price of animal feed went up,” Dr Majid Movafegh Ghadirly commented. It is estimated that up to 15 million day-old chicks were culled in Iran in April 2020 because of the crisis, the Tehran Poultry Farmers’ Union said. This means that the local hatcheries had no other option left other than to simply kill the day-old chicks, a source on the market explained.
