Deputy Minister Agriculture Minister and Head of Iran's Veterinary Organization Seyed Mohammad Aghamiri said that "Previously, 9 items of animal medicine were exported to three countries, but now 18 items of that medicine are exported to 9 countries, and of course we are trying to increase the capabilities in this field."

"Te amount of red meat consumption is 850,000 tons per year, of which 800,000 tons are produced domestically and 50,000 tons of this product are imported," Aghamiri added.
