“Around 7.16 million tons of the total sum were purchased at guaranteed prices from local farmers across 31 Iranian provinces,” Saeed Rad was also quoted as saying by ILNA.

Considered a staple in Iran, wheat is purchased every crop year by the government to build up its reserves and supply the market over time.
