Strategic Relevance
A robust cold chain is strategically vital for Iran to reduce post-harvest losses, enhance food security, and improve the competitiveness of its perishable agricultural and food products in domestic and international markets. It supports the growth of the agro-food sector, enables the export of high-value perishable goods, and ensures the availability of diverse food products to consumers. Investment in this sector directly addresses economic losses due to spoilage and strengthens trade capabilities.
