TEHRAN – The Iranian Agriculture Ministry has banned exports of more crops from the country as part of efforts to control soaring food prices in the domestic market in the days remaining until the holy month of Ramadan and the new Iranian year.<\/p>\n
In a letter issued this week, the ministry asked Iran\u2019s Trade Promotion Organization (TPO) to stop exports of apples, oranges and various types of dates from the country for two months starting February 24, according to a Tuesday report by the semi-official ILNA agency.<\/p>\n
The ministry said the decision was aimed at creating \u201cbalance and stability\u201d in the domestic market.<\/p>\n
Demand for dates increases in Iran during the holy month of Ramadan, which will start on March 2 this year. Apple and orange are the staples of festivities held during Iran\u2019s New Year holidays beginning in late March.<\/p>\n
The Agriculture Ministry had issued a similar letter on February 17 asking for a two-month ban on exports of potatoes, lentils, and beans from the country.<\/p>\n
The ban on potato exports came a month after Iran was forced to import shipments of the crop from neighboring Turkey and Pakistan to control prices in the domestic market.<\/p>\n
Authorities said at the time they wouldn\u2019t be able to halt scheduled potato exports while insisting that such a decision would harm exporters and cause them to lose their share of the market in countries like Iraq.<\/p>\n
Iran has been a major producer and exporter of agricultural products in recent years amid efforts by the government to offset the impacts of foreign sanctions targeting the country\u2019s oil exports.<\/p>\n
