Khuzestan province, with the production of 17 million tons of agricultural and livestock products annually, plays a vital role in ensuring the food security of the country. This province, which has suitable climatic conditions and fertile lands, is considered the most important agricultural hub in Iran.

• Agricultural diversity in Khuzestan includes production of grains, oilseeds, dates, citrus fruits, and vegetables.
• The province's livestock sector contributes significantly to meat and dairy production across the nation.
• Water resources from the Karun and Dez rivers support large-scale irrigation systems essential for agricultural output.
• Infrastructure development and modern farming techniques have increased productivity in recent years..
