The head of agriculture at the Jihad Agricultural Organization of Qazvin Province stated that the average cultivable agricultural land in the province, without corrective measures, is 31%, ranking eighth compared to other provinces in the country. Currently, there is inadequate productivity from two-thirds of the irrigable lands in the province due to water resource limitations. It is expected that with the development of modern irrigation systems and adherence to crop patterns, these lands will also achieve proper utilization.
