Iran, a beautiful four-season country with great opportunities
Nature has given so much to Iran and its people; it is a four-season country with rare climate diversity and soil. Iran has engaged in agriculture for centuries, and there have been glorious eras, such as the Safavid era, when the country’s economy surged. However, according to history, after the Industrial Revolution in Europe and then great technological and industrial advances in North America and European countries, Iran’s rulers of the time, amazed by these advances and wishing them for Iran without considering the country’s and the people’s big differences, tried to import whatever new they encountered during their travels to those countries. These reckless imports not only did not help the country to grow but also derailed it onto a path of semi-industrialisation without an indigenous background, knowledge and motivation.
Instead of importing consuming technologies and machinery in the fields that Iran had no knowledge or background in, they should have tried making the Iranian traditional agriculture sector into a modern and industrialized sector by importing agricultural technology and machinery.
According to a study under the title of “Choosing development path according to Priority Power: Determination of key sector for Iran Economy” (International Journal of Business and Development Studies, Vol. 3, No.1, 2011), the agriculture sector has an obvious priority over the NA-Manufacturing sector (Non-Agricultural Manufacturing) and therefore should be considered as the key sector in allocating limited resources of the economy.
