Iranian Farmers Turn to Cow Dung and Compost Amid Fertilizer Shortage
Published by WarSignal Editorial · Last updated
Iranian farmers are increasingly turning to cow dung and compost as alternatives to conventional fertilizers, a shift driven by shortages linked to the ongoing war.
The move has been reported across several agricultural regions in Iran, where farmers cite difficulties in accessing imported chemical fertilizers. Local officials note that the shift to organic options is a temporary measure while supply chains remain disrupted.
The shortage reflects broader economic strains on the country’s agricultural sector, though no specific figures or quotes are available in the source material.
