Looking at developments in Iran’s food industry, rising disposable incomes should benefit the consumption of beef at the expense of poultry, as mainly higher-income consumers trade up to the more expensive meat. However, a reliance on imports for domestic beef consumption will keep beef prices too high for many Iranians. Therefore, poultry demand is expected to continue to grow strongly. The government has been active in the local rice market, exercising control over production and imports to control prices.
