Iran to Hold Technological Event to Develop Agricultural, Shrimp Farming Ideas

The National Plan of Hope supports businesses that resolve technological problems in Hormozgan province and tries to create power and wealth in the province’s economy by considering its climate.

Therefore, agricultural activists and shrimp farmers can use these supports and investments to develop their business in the target areas of Hormozgan province.

‘Understanding the technological needs of the shrimp farming and agriculture chain’, ‘supporting the development of the market of knowledge-based and technological products’, ‘attracting capital and financial possibilities for the development of deprived areas’ and ‘helping the development of technology in underserved areas’ are among the goals of the event.

In a relevant development in Hormozgan province, laser fish cutting machines were designed and developed by the Iranian experts given the large waste produced by processing plants.

“Now we are in the stage of launching the phytoplankton bank of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman jointly with Arca Paydar Mahan company, and given the fact that a large part of the fish in the processing factories is discarded due to the carelessness of the workers, the laser fish cutting machines were designed and made in the center,” Touraj Assadi, the caretaker of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman Marine Science and Technology Center for Innovation said that, told ANA.

“We have signed cooperation agreements in the field of innovation, research, technology and training with all the organizations in charge of the sea, fisheries and aquatic issues in Hormuzgan province, among which are Hormuzgan Fisheries Directorate, Agricultural Engineering and Natural Resources Department, Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman Ecology Research Institute and the General-Directorate of Environment and Iran Shipbuilding and Offshore Industries Corporation (ISOICO) in Bandar Abbas,” he added, noting that a contract has also been signed with the center regarding the creation of the phytoplankton bank.

“A technological unit active in the field of production of healthy products with Donilia Algae has also been created in this center,” Assadi said.

The fish cutter machine is suitable for cutting fresh fish or light frozen fish into segments, strips, or blocks.
