AGRIBUSINESS
… increase agriculture sector performance and efficiency.
Being one of the world’s forefront in agricultural related science and product knowledge in productivity related matters and positive political ties in between with Iran can help Australian companies to gain market and establish a partnership with local Iranian companies in different sectors of agriculture.
Between all the needs, intelligent, sustainable and efficient water management like recycling agricultural waste is within the priority of the government as the country faces a serious shortage in water resources especially with very lower rainfall amount recorded in late 2017 and early 2018.
The agriculture in Iran was mainly deprived of utilizing new methods, machinery, technologies and modernization for many years due to the limitation in dealing with leading countries in this sector. This has caused Iran not to be able to reach the maximum production capacity in the cultivation areas and in other word having lower efficiency and productivity.
After sanction removal, numerous opportunities have been created especially with the trend and emphasize of increase in agricultural productivity by the Iranian government. Technologies, intelligence, know-how and machinery in sub-sector of the industry, which could lead and result in higher productivity and saving in spending of resources are welcomed and sought after.
MINING
Iran has vast resources of aluminium, steel, bauxite, lead, zinc, and chromite.
According to the newest survey, Iran is the first zinc and the second copper and the 12th iron ore largest reserve holder. The mixture of oil reservoir and mine is whatever you can find as the underground in the Middle East. Iran, Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey are the most important countries, which are more active in mining in the Middle East. The mining industry in this area is also facing several challenges which are some of the main factors the Middle East region severely lacks exploration and resource development investment.
Limited infrastructure and extracting technological advancement from one hand and political unrest and lack of proper governance from another hand make the investor interests fade while there are several underdeveloped resources in this region.
Having different types of significant mineral resources and the government policy to increase non-oil revenues, made Iran as one of the key areas in mining in the Middle East.
Iran economical statistics show strong improvement and growth since the removal of International business restrictions from early 2016 in the mining sector due to reopening Iran’s economy to global business and safe opportunity for investment after ten years.
OIL & GAS
The two sectors which raise oil & gas production status and Iran provides significant potential for are as follows:
– Drilling, production and Oilfield Services
– Maintenance and development of the plants
Iran is the largest producer of petrochemicals in the Middle East and the third largest regional oil reserve holder in this area after Saudi Arabia and Iraq. Iran also has 17.8% of world’s total gas reserves, 33% of this is associated and 74% non-associated fields. Lifting the sanctions, Iran started normalizing her relation with the global community.
European and Asian companies are re-entering the market, trying to start or enlarge operations in Iran in the Oil and Gas sector.

MARINE
Iran is considered a marine country that situated between the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and the Caspian Sea with about 5800 km of the coastal line at its disposal. The Persian Gulf is the only sea passage to India Ocean and acts as a north-south corridor in Southeast Asia. On the top of the significant geopolitically situation of the country, technical capabilities and rich human resources, Iran has not developed and upgraded its marine sector, as it should be.
After removal of sanctions, Iran aimed to develop its marine industries and a series of measures have been taken in terms of planning to meet needs in this regard. Wide ranges of opportunities have been opened up in below subcategories in Iran marine industry:
– Marine Transportation
– Marine Fleet
– Shipbuilding and Repair
– Offshore Industries
– Fishery and Related Industries
FOUNDRY
The casting history in Iran goes back to early 1953. In 2012 statistics shows that the foundry production was about 540,000 Tons with a turn over of $1.25 billion and contribution of 1.45 % to the country GDP for the industrial sector. Comparing the capacity with the rest of the world, Iran stands as 18th country in foundry industry with 0.58% of the world production.
There are more than 1250 foundries in the production of Ferrous and non-Ferrous Alloy in Iran. More than 80 % of the production is coming from large and medium-sized factories and rest through the small one.
Annual capacity for large factories is between 15,000 to 80,000 Tons and around 500 Ton for small size firms.
Due to vast resources of Ferrous and Non-Ferrous mines, and government plans to develop the country in one hand and being close to many export markets like Iraq, Afghanistan, CIS and north and central Africa from another hand, there are many opportunities for importing, utilization of newest methods and technologies in foundry plants.
