Iran halts potato exports for the rest of the year
28 July 2026 | 3 months ago
Potato exports from Iran have been halted for the remainder of the Iranian year ending March 2027. According to Tejarat News on Tuesday, 28 July 2026, rising domestic consumption was cited as the reason for the decision.
Halts on agricultural exports are typically imposed when policymakers are concerned about domestic supply and a jump in consumer prices.
Potatoes are a staple of the Iranian household basket, and their price has been one of the components affecting food inflation in recent months.
