Iranian Knowledge-Based Company Modernizes Agriculture with Pneumatic Pruning Machinery

Mehdi Moradi, the managing director of Dehqan Farming-Gardening Company, said the knowledge-based company is capable to meet the needs of the country’s farmers for pruning.

The company is active in the fields of agricultural equipment and produces pneumatic pruning machinery, Moradi told ANA.

Dehqan Farming-Gardening Company became operational in 2007 and started operations for producing machinery for pruning, fertilizing, and poison spraying in 2021.

The company will be able to prevent a huge outflow of foreign currency by supplying modern pruning machinery to the agricultural sector. 

The knowledge-based company is operating at the incubator center affiliated with the Islamic Azad University, Mobarakeh branch.

If the capital required for launching the large-scale production line is provided, jobs will be created for 50 to 100 people, Moradi said.

The Iranian-made pneumatic machinery for pruning is superior to its foreign-made rivals in all aspects, Moradi said, adding that the company is planning to replace fossil fuel with renewable energy for the machinery.

Iranian knowledge-based companies have so far produced 120 technological products in the field of agriculture, according to the Vice Presidency for Science and Technology.

Some 30 knowledge-based companies are working to integrate the agricultural industry with innovation and creativity by producing 120 technological products so that the new generation of agriculture will be realized in the country.

With the growing population, declining food and agricultural resources, and declining food security around the world, countries need to move toward using modern agriculture to help speed up crop production.

This work covers everything from the cultivation to the harvest and sale of crops and can play an effective role in the development of the new generation of agriculture and the promotion of productivity and sustainability of crops.

According to the latest statistics, 265 companies are active in the field of agriculture, biotechnology, and the food industry and have produced knowledge-based products.

Agriculture is one of the fields in which nanotechnology has been able to develop, as over 50 widely used nanoproducts have been launched in the agricultural sector of Iran.
