The Iranian parliament has proposed to set up a citruses exports system, with the allocation of a substantial aid fund of approximately 30 million USD. With a harvest of 4.5 to 5.0 million tonnes, the country is among the world top ten citrus producers, but is at present practically absent from world trade. Nearly half of production comes from the temperate zone situated on the Caspian Coast (Mazandaran province especially). The rest of the harvest is concentrated near the Persian Gulf (Hormuzgan) and a little further north (Kirman/Fars).
