Minab- The governor of Minab stated that Minab has 400 kilometers of rivers, of which 150 kilometers are considered to be a crisis, and said: dredging the rivers of Minab requires one thousand billion Tomans.
According to the report of Mehr reporter, Mohammad Radmehr, the special governor of Minab city on Friday afternoon, in the meeting to review the problems of the agricultural sector of Minab city, which was held in the presence of the representative of East Hormozgan and a member of the agricultural commission of the Islamic Parliament, explained the statistics and agricultural capacities of the region and stated: the cultivated area of agricultural and garden lands in Minab city is more than 47,000 hectares, of which 23,000 hectares are agricultural lands and 24,000 hectares are gardens.
Referring to the special position of Minab in ensuring the country's food security, he added: Minab's agricultural products such as dates, citrus fruits, lemons, oranges, mangoes and tropical fruits, as well as summer products such as tomatoes, onions and eggplants, enter the market 40 to 50 days earlier than other parts of the country.
The special governor of Minab stated: In the greenhouse sector with 175 hectares of cultivated area, more than 11 thousand tons of crops are produced annually, and the capacity of the city's transformation industries with an annual production of 400 thousand tons and 57 poultry units with the production of 12 thousand tons of white meat play an irreplaceable role in food security.
Wandering farmers during harvest; Request to reopen the borders
The special governor of Minab considered the harvest time as one of the serious concerns of farmers and stated: Unfortunately, Minab farmers are confused during the harvest season due to the closure of export borders.
Radmehr said: Last year, our farmers suffered a lot of losses in this area, and we hope that the Islamic Council and the Agriculture Commission will take special measures to open the borders during harvest so that the farmers' products do not remain behind the borders.
The need to revise the electricity tariffs for agricultural wells
Radmehr listed the increase in electricity tariffs for agricultural wells and gardens as another serious concern of the activists in this area and demanded a revision and reduction of tariffs with the assistance of the Parliament's Agriculture Commission.
There is an urgent need for multipurpose wharf and infrastructure development in Makran
Referring to Minab's location in Makran's coastal development zone, he noted: In the Makran's coastal development document, fields of agriculture, tourism and aquaculture are defined for Minab; But the realization of sustainable prosperity requires the construction of a multi-purpose port, because currently we do not have a suitable dock for the export of agricultural products in this region.
Water crisis and exhaustion of transmission channels
Emphasizing the need to develop the irrigation network under pressure in the north and center of Minab, the governor of Minab reminded: due to the water shortage crisis, we need to inject special credit from the place of added value, as well as allocate funds for the restoration and transmission line of open water supply channels in order to prevent wastage and evaporation of water.
Stating that Minab has 400 kilometers of rivers, 150 kilometers of which are considered to be a crisis, Radmehr said: Regional water estimates for dredging these rivers require nearly one hemat (thousand billion tomans) of credit, which is vital.
He also emphasized the need to provide electricity infrastructure in Tiab and Kergan shrimp breeding sites (2000 hectares ready for handover).
Celebrating the companionship of people and guilds in times of crisis
In another part of his speech, the governor of Minab, honoring the memory of the martyrs and referring to the stability of the people of Minab against the threats and attacks of the enemy in the recent imposed war, stated: During the critical days and the direct attack of the enemy, the bakeries, markets and gas stations of Minab were not closed even for a single day, which was the result of the good management of the authorities and the unique support of the guilds and people, especially the flour, wheat and energy activists.
In the end, Radmehr thanked and appreciated the continuous support and follow-up of Hashemi, the people's representative in the Islamic Council, who is on the front line of following people's affairs.
