Agriculture is one of the major sectors of Iran’s economy, contributing around 12% to its GDP and employing almost one third of the population. Some half of the rural population is active in agriculture and, domestic production largely (around 90%) covers its food requirements. In 2016, agriculture accounted for more than 13% of Iran’s total non-oil exports. On average, one third of agricultural production is attributed to livestock production. The most common species of farm animals are sheep, goats, cattle, buffalo and camels, whereas sheep and goats produce more than half of the red meat.
