Iran has captured a significant 17% share of the dairy market in Asia, according to Hasan Khamisabadi, head of the Animal Science Research Institute of Iran.
This strong market presence highlights the country's growing influence in the agricultural export sector, particularly in dairy, which has become a key contributor to Iran’s foreign exchange earnings.
Khamisabadi emphasized that dairy products are among Iran’s major exports, reinforcing the agricultural sector’s role in the national economy. He cited recent data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), which confirms Iran as the largest dairy exporter in Asia for 2023.
The FAO statistics revealed that over 9 million tons of milk and dairy products were exported by Asian countries in 2023, with Iran accounting for 17% of this volume. This achievement underscores the country’s strategic position in the regional dairy market and reflects its continued efforts to expand export capabilities in the agricultural domain.
Iran's success in capturing such a significant market share in Asia’s dairy sector demonstrates the nation's focus on enhancing production and export capacity, solidifying its standing as a key player in the global dairy industry.
