Status of Agricultural Biotechnology in the Islamic Republic of Iran • Absence of adequate methods and mechanisms to move in vitro products to production and lack of a link between research products and production practices. • Unwillingness or inability of the industrial sector to mass produce the products of biotechnological research. • Deficiency in the management system in some sectors and the presence of often conflicting decision-making units; lack of efficient supervision and control. • Shortage of adequate skilled and specialist manpower. • Inadequate scientific relationships among the research, training, and scientific centers in the country and internationally. PLANS FOR AGRICULTURAL BIOTECHNOLOGY Medium-Term Plan for Agricultural Biotechnology (2005–09) Cultivation of transgenic plants amounting to at least 0.2% of the area of these plants under cultivation in the world by the end of the plan period. Production of forage and supplements of livestock amounting to 0.5% of the need of the country. Production of biofertilizers and biopesticides amounting to 3% of the need of the country and replacing chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Production of three kinds of new vaccines against livestock diseases. Production of biological products usable in the food industry amounting to 10% of the need of the country. Long-Term Plan for Agricultural Biotechnology in Iran (2010–14) Cultivation of transgenic plants amounting to 0.5% of the area under cultivation of these plants in the world by the end of the plan period. Production of forage and supplements of livestock amounting to 10% of the need of the country. Production of biofertilizers and biopesticides amounting to 10% of the need of the country and replacing chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Production of at least five kinds of new vaccines against livestock diseases and an export target of 30% of total products. Production of biological products usable in the food industry amounting to 15% of the need of the country. STRATEGIES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Recognizing the existing capabilities and the increasing gap between the technology in the world and that in Iran, and in order to achieve the goals set, guidelines are: • Preparation of a comprehensive plan for biotechnology training. • Legislation of intellectual property laws relevant to biotechnology. • Establishment of national nonprofit centers to verify the quality of biotechnological processes and products. • Establishment of a national biotechnology information network. • Preparation of national standards for biotechnological products. • Legislation of biotechnological moral principles. • Promotion of public awareness and public acceptance of biotechnology. • Support for the establishment of private marketing agencies. • Support for the establishment of organizations investing in biotechnology. • Allocation of funds and provision of facilities according to priorities. – 123 –
Business Potential for Agricultural Biotechnology Products • Facilitation of joint investment of domestic and foreign biotechnology agencies to achieve advanced biotechnology. Strategies for Industrialization and Production • Support for biotechnological parks and centers. • Preparation of mechanisms for transmitting biotechnology from research centers to beneficiaries. • Support for the establishment of biotechnological consultative and engineering service organizations. Strategies to Support the Private Sector, Trade, and Markets • Establishment of biotechnological development zones in order to increase the production of biotechnological products and their export. • Preparation of the groundwork for exploiting existing capacities in the country and in neighboring countries so as to develop a market for biotechnological products. • Establishment of an effective presence in local and international exhibitions and conferences in order to develop a market for biotechnological products. • Creation of effective procedures to attract foreign investment. • Legislation of customs regulations and establishment of special customs regulations for biotechnological products. CONCLUSIONS Because of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s capabilities and potential to develop agricultural biotechnology, and considering the government’s investment in this field in recent years and the plans to improve it, Iran is likely to have a bright future in this field. This will require: • Promotion of public awareness and public acceptance of biotechnology. • Legislation of intellectual property laws relevant to biotechnology. • Support for the establishment of organizations investing in biotechnology. • Facilitation of joint investment of domestic and foreign biotechnology agencies to achieve advanced biotechnology.
