Sponsored purchase of a male calf

We asked the vice president of livestock production improvement of the North Khorasan Agricultural Jihad Organization about the situation of live livestock prices, who said: Live livestock prices in the country and consequently at the provincial level are determined based on supply and demand. In recent months, due to the accumulation of heavy livestock and the lack of demand in the market, ranchers wanted to purchase livestock in order to buy livestock, and since the age of livestock increases, the productivity decreases and the cost of production increases, with the follow-up of the Agricultural Jihad Organization and at the same time With the visit of the government delegation to North Khorasan, the purchase of bull calves has started.

Mehdi Shekhari adds: Livestock raw inputs are sold in the Gah market system, and large livestock farmers directly buy the necessary inputs from the country's ports of entry, but rural livestock farmers through a cooperative company that buys and transports the total quota of livestock farmers from the Gah market. they buy, the price of which is calculated based on the purchase price from the ports plus shipping fee and 3% distribution fee.

5 thousand tons of barley for the nomads of the province

Shekari continues: In addition to the market input, 5000 tons of short-term barley has been provided to the nomads of the province on a short-term basis by the General Administration of Nomadic Affairs in cooperation with the Rural Cooperative Organization.

The vice president of livestock production improvement of the agricultural jihad of the province states: Implementation of the breeding plan for light livestock during the years 1401 to 1403: 27,500 million rials for 7,894 heads, which in 1403 was 4,814 heads with a credit of 12,500 million rials.

He emphasizes: the plan to purchase male cattle for livestock farmers has started since January 5 this year.

The main occupation of the people of North Khorasan is animal husbandry and agriculture. This is the center of production of the best healthy foods, but why should the people of North Khorasan be deprived of healthy food and unable to buy the best and highest quality meat? Why should the best meat be exported from the province?
