Iran seeking to launch extraterrestrial cultivation projects in Georgia and Azerbaijan

Tabriz, June 14, IRNA - The head of the East Azarbaijan province's Agriculture Jihad Organization highlighted Iran's potential in making investments in extraterrestrial cultivation and said his organization is currently awaiting final agreements with Azerbaijan and Georgia in this regard.

Akbar Fathi said on Monday that extraterrestrial cultivation is different from from importing agricultural products from other countries.

Some countries have the capacity to produce agricultural products, but they do not have the knowledge and tools to produce them so identifying their potential could help cultivate desired products, he added.

Fathi added that extraterrestrial cultivation plan is being carried in the context of an understanding with Georgia for corn production.
