Iran, Tanzania hold meeting for intergovernmental committee

The preparatory meeting was convened in the Iranian Ministry of Agriculture on Wednesday to prepare the ground for inking several memoranda of understanding at the next meeting of the high-ranking officials of Iran and Tanzania as part of the intergovernmental committee.

The administration of President Ebrahim Raeisi is pursuing agricultural diplomacy and expanding cooperation with Africa in the field of extraterrestrial farming, which involves growing crops in different countries and importing them into Iran.

Located in eastern Africa, Tanzania plays a major role in regional and global food and agriculture supply chains.

Agriculture accounts for over half of the gross domestic product, nearly 85% of exports, and some 80% of the workforce in Tanzania.
