Iran to recommence shrimp exports to EU

Factors preventing Iran to export shrimp to EU have all been removed, according to Iran's Minister of Agriculture, Mohammad-Reza Eskandari.

Iran recently satisfied the necessary requirements for selling shrimp to other countries and would be able to export shrimp to EU soon, Eskandari said in a press conference on Sunday.

The ministry further announced that another successful measure Iran has taken in the field of agriculture is the domestic production of brucellosis vaccine for cows and sheep.

The mass production of ovine and bovine vaccine started on Saturday after nine years of research by Iranian experts, the minister confirmed.
