The meeting was held in the third-largest city of the Netherlands on May 2 with senior directors of Iran’s Agriculture Ministry headed by deputy agriculture minister, Eskandar Zand.

The Iranian delegation reached comprehensive agreements in the fields of research, vocational education and joint investment, marketing agricultural products and management of water and soil with Dutch officials.

During the signing ceremony, the two sides called for the establishment of specialized working groups to push common goals in various fields, including preserving livestock and plants, greenhouse cultivation, genetic resources, fisheries and dairy.

The Iranian delegation’s deal with Wageningen University stipulates cooperation in the fields of applied education, promoting productivity in potato production, fishery and food security.
